Wow,Reg. $5100 what a great deal, pm me for more details.
Well jst tell us all wear we can send the money too. Can I send cash?
Can you and your buddy be a little less vauge![]()
We're is the contact info?
Lol jst send him your money. Vauge is still vauge. Op if you can't provide the people of this forum with more info then this, or pm me for details. It looks very suspicious
Their are prob alot of people on this forum that would be intrested!
I just returned from Canada after a 12 hour round trip to Ben Berg farm in Wainfleet, Ont and I can tell you the $1200 V4210 is real. That's also Canadian so the exchange rate offsets the VAT that's charged.
Initially, I and, hopefully others, owe a hail and hardy Thank you to forum member SVG. Mike took the time to post this deal and has followed up with me on his efforts to get one trucked to him. I live about 300 miles from the sellers so I decided to drive over and pick it up.
All-in-all, it went about as well as one could hope and the folks at Ben Berq were great but I'll leave some observations on my experience.
First off - This is one large Kubota dealership, there's orange all over the place as well any number of other brands. It's much larger than any close to me.
Secondly - The price is Canadian but they charge VAT so it washes out but it''s still a $1200 Cab. I tried to use one credit card and it was blocked because Visa assumed I was stealing my own credit. That has never happened before in Canada with this card but luckily I had a second that went through. A high five to the gals in the office that spent a ton of time working with me to try to make the card work. You might want to call your card company ahead of time and let them know what's about to happen to forestall this event.
If you want to spend cash, take Canadian as they are not setup to do exchange rates.
Third - When you hit the border be sure you have the receipt, I did and it answered a lot of questions about where/how much/tax paid and where the heck is Wainfleet, Ont.
Fourth - This is a big heavy box so be prepared for that.
Lastly - They have a number on hand so you should be able to get one. They want to move them.
As an adder - Commercially Trucking this out of Canada is not trivial so if you plan to do that give Mike a shout, and if I were him I probably charge for the info, he has done yeoman service there.
You want proof, I got proof

I called this morning and it all sounds legit. Say they bought 60 of them from Kubota at a rock bottom price. Therefore they are selling them at a good price. Makes sense that Kubota would be trying to get rid of them since they don't fit the new model.
Here are the questions I asked;
Curtis cab, same as Kubota? Y
Glass windshield? Y
Back window? Y (unknown if glass or plastic)
Metal roof? No, poly, orange
Wipers? N $128 ea.
Radio/CD? Y
Lighting? N, Optional
Heater? N, $405
Cards accepted? Visa / MC
Package size? 70 x 63 x 24
Weight? 300#
Qty on hand? ~50
Hours? mon-fri 8-5:50 Sat 8-5
Address: 42134 Hwy #3 R.R. 3, Wainfleet, Ont.

I'm looking to make the trip this Thursday when I'm off.
Given your experience I am definitely going to call my credit card company the day before I leave from my home number to let them know my intentions.Bill
Those are the same questions I asked with the same answers. Just be sure your credit card carrier knows you will be using it in Canada.
I'm also told that the 900 needs heavier front coils (struts) when the cab is installed. Berg didn't have them in time to supply me when I picked up the cab so I ordered them from Messicks. I chose to go with completely new struts and coils as my 04 has been worked hard and it carries both the new cab and a Curtis snowplow. Heavy Coils alone are about 1/3 the cost of the heavy duty strut/coil assembly.
I was also told that they come with a radio and speaker assembly and a two speed fan, no heat. My 2004 never gets very warm in the winter so I'm opting for a catalytic heater to warm the cab. I can do the heater later if necessary. Same with the wipers, if I need them I'll get them locally. BTW that wiper quote is Canadian and a good price on the drivers wiper.
I should have my cab off the trailer tomorrow after I rearrange the pole barn so we'll know whats in the package then.
