I had a price for one when they first came out 2018 think it was just before I got the 216- it was £24k plus vat then and that was standard spec- Ive asked for steel tracks and a harford tilt hitch so expecting it to be in the 30s...Kubota kx027-4 with tilt hitch and steels is £34kplus vatNice to see prop controls on a small taki, everything the 216 isn't
Wait till you get a price, make sure you're sat down.
29k with cab / hydraulic hitch this afternoon
Love it , fantastic machine very smooth and very stable , cabs big and a nice place to spend 20 minutes
Seems a lot of money doesn't it. I wasn't quoted much more for a a TB240 only a few years ago! Thing is I can't see new prices ever coming down and likely only going to keep rising- what will they be in 3 years time- we may all be wishing we'd bought them now
Yeah they can't say for definite whether that price will rise or drop between now and July which was the delivery date.Seems a lot of money doesn't it.

You weren't wrong! For a TB225 with steel tracks and a tilt hitch- £38k plus vat. ETA July 2022 and no guarantee the price won't rise further. The Kubota kx027-4 with steels and tilt hitch for £34k delivered April is starting to look like a bargainNice to see prop controls on a small taki, everything the 216 isn't

seriously though dealer is bending you over at that.
Well he can bend me over all he likes- he isn't getting any at that priceWell if you weren't sitting down already you would be after that
Yeah i think he's taking the pi** with all 3 prices thereWell he can bend me over all he likes- he isn't getting any at that price
Base machine with cab is £29k. Steels were £3.5k and tilt hitch just over £5k. Think the add ons are the piss take as well.
Was it mark Crocker ? 5k more than a base cat and there “expensive “Well he can bend me over all he likes- he isn't getting any at that price

Yep- found him pretty straight to deal with when buying my 216 to be fair to him. But yeah something isn't adding up here.
Always found as soon as you wanted an extra which wasn’t on the list they’d price themselves out of it so if you cancelled the order it’s still easy to sell ! I remember being told the prop controls were £400 extra and did I really need them ! To be fair to mark he’s fairly straight down the road nice enough bloke
Yeah I got that impression- they said I could order one now as base machine and if I didn't want it when it arrived in July it could go to the next person on the list.
Yeah a kind of "we can't be arsed to supply it to you but if your foolish enough here's the price" price
Agree hire is spot on service. Had a few issues when I've had a machine on hire like the time a TB290 conked out on a stockpile- they were out within the hour to get it sorted.I've a huge amount of time for CBL, particularly the hire lads and ladies..... But buying anything is often a chore, it's unlikely I'd have a new one for that reason sadly
Looks like my Kx71-3 will be on the fleet a little (long) time yet!!You weren't wrong! For a TB225 with steel tracks and a tilt hitch- £38k plus vat.
