 Re: Why won't the dealer let us "test" drive the fel??
My Massey dealer did let us "test drive" the loader.
I was originally interested in a 1540, but they did not have any in stock. They had a 1533 and a 1547. There was a large gravel pile on the lot and the dealer let us play(work) with any machine on the gravel. It was very clear to me that once I used both machines, I needed the larger 1547.
Our Kubota dealer would only let me turn on the tractor. There were units in front, back, and on both sides of the tractor. He was not willing to move them so I could drive the L3400 around the paved parking lot. That would not have been much of a test drive anyway.
As for hours, mine had 5 hours on it, but I am sure that I put on close to 2 hours at the dealer myself digging holes in the gravel pit...this also showed me that I wanted loaded tires prior to the tractor coming home.
