Been following this thread - didn't see a dealer comment.
I've read a lot of threads where in "farm country" it's customary for a dealer to "drop" a tractor off for a test drive for an established customer. But unless a dealer has a rental fleet or a used model I wouldn't expect to be allowed to drive one around and play in the dirt.
And if I went to buy one new I wouldn't take one with 10 hours on it without a discount. Heck, I just managed to put 10 hours on my BH and I've had it for weeks.
To the OP - it seems like you need to find a dealer that will work with you.
