Well, I spoke with the owner of the 271, and I dont think we're going to able to make a deal on it. The guy said he was a used tractor dealer, he just buys and sells them, and honestly he gave the proverbial "sleezy used car salesman" vibe. I talked to him about price, how it was higher than other comparable hour and condition units, and he refused to budge an inch on it, literally wont take a penny less than 15,900.
I also talked to a couple of salesman with two local new dealerships, and the 271 would only be about $6k less than a brand new tractor. Its just too much risk for not enough reward, ya know? If that 271 was coming off its original owners' farm and they would take $500 or $1k less for it, it would be one thing, but I'm going to pass on/avoid this one. Dealer support and a good warranty is worth something here, I don't have time to screw with a broken tractor, thats exactly why I'm shopping around right now in the first place.
Anyway, it looks like we're New Holland vs Kubota. Any thoughts on them?
Bonus points on NH, their salesman said their service department would "take care of me" if I bought a new machine from them and I had them fix my old international up, before selling it. I'll have to explore this further and get something in writing, but if they would deeply discount their ($95/hr) shop rate and if this thing is worth messing with, and the tractors are pretty comparable in price and capability, that might end up steering me to them.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
