Are there good deals to be had on 2019 BX tractors now that it is 2020 ? Or dont the dealers care whether they unload them or not ?

The year of a tractor doesn't mean anything like it would for a vehicle. There really isn't a 2019 vs 2020 model, unless Kubota rolls out a new tractor/model name. I don't know if there are any new BX series tractors coming out this year.

However, I would think that winter may be a bit of a slow time for dealers when it comes to tractor sales. You may find that they are willing to wheel and deal before the onslaught of spring fever.

Just figure out what you want, with attachments, and request an email quote from several dealers. I've found that if you're specific on the details and timeline, they will get back to you very quickly with a quote. Be sure to let them know that you are shopping several dealers.

The only bargain might be them willing to sell the older model using the 2019 price sheet. :D

When I was shopping for my tractor I found the dealer offered the most incentives in December.

Looks like the current rebates ($1250 + $750 for two implements) are pretty similar to what was in effect last month. Including rebates, last month I bought a BX2380, which had a MSRP of $21,627, for $16,450 plus tax.

A 2019 BX becomes a 2020 BX if it's not sold before the end of the year.

Tractors do not follow automobiles, the tractor date is the date the machine is sold, not the date the machine is made! ;)

So along those line, if a unit languishes on a dealers lot for say 3 years before it's sold, it's still considered new?

Seems strange to me.

Yes, there are a number of threads along those lines. The short answer is yes, that unit is still new. The longer answer is that the unit probably has weathered, has rust, and in general isn't as new as an actual new tractor that just rolled off the factory floor. So if you were buying a tractor in that condition you'd expect a discount, unless you're not paying close enough attention to notice.

Furthermore, if you then later buy that unit second hand, the guy selling it to you will tell you that's a 2020 tractor that he's had for 3 years, he won't mention that it was on the lot for 3 years before he had it. That's why you should focus much more on the condition of the machine when buying second hand than worrying about hours and age - since there are easy hours and hard hours, and there are easy years and hard years. A nearly new tractor that's been hard used by a contracting outfit and parked outside will be a less good purchase than a 5 year old tractor that's been garaged all it's life and used for lawn mowing by one lady owner and religiously serviced by the dealer.

when I bought my L2501, the dealer had 3 on the yard, i drove a gear drive model with a loader around there yard that had a good bit of sun fade and rust stains, decided I wanted one, dealer said ok we will order a new tractor in the crate, loader, and hoe..... ready for pickup in 3-4 weeks. he called me 2 weeks later and said its ready for pickup. left out after work on a Friday night a drove 8 hours back to Florida to pick up my new baby, Saturday morning go to get tractor and drop off check and low and behold they slapped the new hoe on the sun damaged unit with 12 hours on it..... I lost my manure big time!!!!! what made it worse was there was a brand new machine in the crate sitting in there shop that was dropped off that morning!! long story short I left Sunday morning headed north with a shiny new girl with .3 hours on the clock.

Kid of sort of bummed out. Was hoping the M5-151 my dealer has had sitting on his lot from early last spring until now, I might get a deal on. Guess I'll just keep what I have.:(
Flip,

This thread gave me a good laugh...

You ask about BX machines and then confess you were thinking about a M5-151 :cool:

Flip never asked about BX machines, he wasn't the original poster.

I'd like an M5-151, I'd be able to mow my lawn in about 1 minute. Not sure I could get budget approval from the household controller though.
