This is extremely frustrating and if I'm going to spend anywhere from $15,000 up to $18,000 you would think they would let you even take it home and try it around the house....

Anyone else have this problem or frustration?
Do you have any idea what it would cost to keep one of each model available for potential customers to try out? Some folks, such as myself, don't care if I buy a "new" tractor with 4 or 5 (or even 10) hours on it, and I don't care if they scratched the paint on the bucket and touched it up with a rattle can, but read some old threads and see how upset some people get if their new tractor isn't delivered with zero hours on the meter and not a scratch on it.

So, yep, I can see two sides to this story. As a customer, naturally you'd like to try it out and I don't blame you for that. But as a dealer, how much extra overhead can you afford?
