I read the prior posts and have to chuckle. Seems everybody is really concerned with the dealer making a profit. I agree that the dealer should be able to make a profit. What I dont agree with is me having to pay for the dealers shoddy business practices. Let me explain,,, there is a local dealer that is always higher on their prices for sales and service. The funny thing is when you go there there is a pile of employees standing around doing very little. When you send in something for service the labor time is always high. I dont think I should have to pay extra just cause the dealer cant manage his business. Now there is also a dealer that is about 150 miles away that will always be cheaper without a fight. But the sales man delivers himself. When I do everything in my power to run my business as efficient as humanly possible I shouldnt have to pay the dealer to have a bunch of high payed employees standing around doing nothing. They drive new vehicles when mine is 6 years old. They operate out of a palace while I struggle to keep the tin on the barn roof. I am on the farm busting my tail while the guy that owns the dealer is out deep sea fishing on HIS boat. When you talk about profit what are you talking about? Jonboy, I would make some phone calls to other dealers. Alot of dealers would be happy to deliver to you 75 miles away. If you plan to put it together yourself consider having a dealer drop ship to you. Check Bush Hog, Woods, etc. for comparable products to compare prices. Dealer price will change most times from dealer to dealer. A dealer that sells much volume will get a better dealer price usually when you add incentives from the manufacturer. Take some time and find a dealer that WANTS your business. Tims$.02

Identifying Tractor Smells - by Curtis Von Fange. We are continuing our series on learning to talk the language of our tractor. Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
