It's always interesting to read the many complaints that so many tractor guys have when we seem to get fleeced by a seller (sometimes dealers too) from distances that I would think twice about for a holiday let alone buying a tractor. Now, picking up some parts etc. for up to a few hundred dollars is risky too but we're not talking about a great deal of money. To spend sometimes thousands of dollars on a tractor 1800 miles away that you haven't seen and then you ship it home and it's a mess or not what was represented to you is pretty discouraging. What amazes me though is that so many guys buy this way, somehow I could never do it. Maybe if I had a friend or contact who was very knowledgeable that lived near the tractor and could check it out for me, than maybe OK. But to spend that kind of money that far from home and never see it? Anyone out there feel the same way?
