Jeez, when it rains, it pours. And it is raining in Pennsylvania today.
So maybe I was all wet about the warranty issue. If there was ever a question, that seems to have been resolved.
Murph asked about the dealers -- they are both experienced and reputable. Orange is about 18 miles away, Blue is 40. Orange will guarantee a modest pick up and delivery fee for work that has to be done in the shop.
Sounds as though (except for you weenies that live in Florida) calcium or other environmentally friendly fluid is a must. I didn't like the idea of always putting weight on the back of the tractor to use the loader. (Of course, that's not a problem when I use my Case 580 loader/hoe)
Accessories to check -- back up light (a must, thanks), block heater (I asked about that and although it is an option for the Orange they apparently start pretty well with their pre-heat system -- any more thoughts on that?), cutter blade for the FEL (are those weld-on or bolt-on?), hooks for the bucket (the Blue dealer said that if he installed them it would void the warranty???)
Anyone have an opinion (always a scary thing to say on this site) about body work? Orange is sheet metal, Blue is fiberglass -- so one dents, and the other cracks?
