I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on a BX2816 snowblower for my 2380. I have a quote from my local dealer of $4,000.00 for one with the 2819 electric chute controller. I’m assuming this is an installed price due to the email wording. They stated that this price includes a discount for my buying the tractor from them. When I go to the Kubota website that lets you “built it” on line, the pricing comes out about $100.00 less than my “discounted” quote. I will install this myself, so hopefully get some sort of credit for that. Just doesn’t seem like much of a “discount” if the on line pricing is correct......
Are Kubota “build it” on line prices current?

I bought same exact blower last year. Bought it at the same time I bought tractor, it was in june. Mine was 4300 all in, which for me was the front hitch and mid pto kit, hydraulic rotation, hydraulic deflection. The dealer didn't list costs individually, so I can't really tell how that breaks down. Hope it helps.
Current build prices online are pretty close. Just 'built' an M7 151 for 170,000 bucks. My dealer has one on the lot and the build it price and his asking price are close. Kubota offers 0 percent financing on them btw, if any of you want one...
I asked for pricing advice for the front end snow blower in the "buying advice, Recommendations and pricing"

It has been a week with no response.
I am glad that I seen this post as at least I have an idea on the pricing
Mine was priced as a minimum cost (no hydraulic rotation dealer said that was about $800 but could be added at any time).

Well the electric chute rotation control adds another $406.00, so that puts us in the same ballpark. I just can’t see where I’m getting any kind of discount. I emailed the dealer with some questions about the pricing, but no response as of yet. They’ve pretty much got us over a barrel on this stuff. There are plenty of options on 3 point implements, but not on this.....

Even with that, it would still answer your question of wether the local dealer’s price is out of line. A couple of simple phone calls goes a long ways to finding out. I know, some people are scared to actually call someone and ask a question nowadays, they rather email then blame them for not getting to it. However, I have found a few minutes on the phone can get much quicker and better results.
No definitive data but I expect that the Build It suggested prices are current.
Kubota would be asking for problems if out of date.
That said, my experience is that most dealers will quote full list prices for options/accessories and implements (aside from rotary cutters, which are much more competitive). Most (all?) will also add installation and delivery charges.

Mine was $2376 back when I bought it may of 2017. This was with the hand crank and not hydraulic.

Buying one of these tractors is akin to buying a car--the price is never firm. I think $100 difference isn't too bad, actually. I bought something for my BX--can't remember exactly what--and the dealer quoted me $3000. When I went back the next day he said $3400. I reminded him of what he'd told me just 24 hours prior, and he came right back down. If anyone is not happy with the price, and insists on a discount, we can always exercise the prime right of the consumer--we can walk. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Best of luck.
