    Warranty repair at dealer where you did not purchase the tractor.

    No kidding and low inventory. I'm not above haggling, but in this case I hadn't even gotten there yet, I just asked for pricing. But I get your point.

    Warranty repair at dealer where you did not purchase the tractor.

    Great conversation and again I appreciate all the input. Since I have not heard back from the sales person that I was working with for about two weeks now I can assume he's not interested in selling me a tractor. The last email exchange was me asking for pricing on implements to add to the...

    Warranty repair at dealer where you did not purchase the tractor.

    Deere is on the short list. I have two different dealerships (owned by different organizations) within half an hours drive. The only downside to Deere is the bucket connection. I haven't fully researched that yet, but I do know the standard bucket is proprietary and I have a few skid steer...

    Warranty repair at dealer where you did not purchase the tractor.

    One of the best things about social media like this is, it brings to light issues like this so that someone can make an informed decision. It's great to see what others think before I plop down $60k on a tractor that should last me for a long time.

    Warranty repair at dealer where you did not purchase the tractor.

    All, these are all great replies and I agree with most of what was said. The unfortunate thing is, they have a lock down on the territory within a couple of hours of me so if I want to buy Kubota I would most likely have to deal with them in the future.

    I haven't cut the deal yet. I'm still waiting on the dealer to come up with a price so that we can start talking price and add ons. I'm not opposed to driving a few hours if things do not work out locally.

    Hi Bmyers - I don't have a baler at the moment, but will most like do small square bales, so yes I agree big round baler is not in the future. The specs say PTO HP is 60.

    New guy looking to buy M4D-071 in Iowa

    Hello All, I'm in the market for a tractor. Light hay work, gravel and dirt moving and grapple work with brush. I've read a couple of threads on here and so far nothing is making me think there are any inherent major flaws with this model. A couple de-clutching button issues, but that should...
