If the discount is from the manufacturer, like the $400, it usually is in addition to the usual margins. There is only so much wiggle room on the machines so the dealer pricing can only change based on volume discounts or other manufacturer price breaks. That said, the dealers have wider margins on implements and will often give you a super deal on whatever implement you need as part of that package. With interest rates low, if you can qualify, its a no-brainer to get as much as you'll need all at once.
Buddy of mine in Ohio caught the .5% rate in 2010 when he bought his L3800 and wrapped all his implements into the deal. The whole package is paid off now and he is so happy he got while the gettin' was good. Rates may not stay this low forever. But, qualification for financing is becoming tougher and tougher due to a looming credit crisis just around the corner.
Happy shopping!

Hi,
I just bought a B2601 and from my experience I'd price check a few local dealers and a couple that are further away. Like the other guy stated the discounts should be in addition to the normal dealer rates since it's a factory incentive not really involving the dealer.
I found that all dealers in my area were literally within a few hundreds of dollars of each other so I went with the dealer who happened to be the closest, was also the cheapest and they threw in a couple minor extras like fluid filled rear tires etc...
It was quite refreshing purchasing a tractor without the high pressure, what can we do to make you buy today?, smoke and mirrors oh did we forget to mention that cost?, who cares what the total cost is here's your monthly payments show that is the auto industry.
Did you know that the newest tactic is to get the customer to put a deposit on the vehicle before any price is agreed upon just to prove they are "serious about purchasing" lol who thinks up this stuff? Sorry, I got a little off to topic

My advise is do your homework. Like AJW said, go to several dealers even out of state. I went to 4 different ones before I purchased my last M9000 and the price spread was 7K on the exact same equipped tractor. Price the tractor and implements you need in a bundle, just be careful about the brand. Some will try to make the deal better by trying to throw in junk implements. My L3000 fell into that category. One dealer had a bunch of mixed implements and the other had all Bushhog brand. The total price was only $500 different.
Kubota offers 0% all the time so it's easy to get a tractor and all the implements at a good deal. No need for you to settle for less than exactly what you want. Most dealers are hungry due to slow sales but they'll still try to make it sound like they're doing you a favor. That's not the case, they need your business to keep the doors open. Make them work for you, not the other way around.
