Thanks for all the replys guys.
I recently went back down to the NH dealer here and talked to another salesman that I got along with much better.
Still didn't get a decent price though, $16,500, I can still beat that by $1000 by driving nearly to Houston to get it.
He said that he understood completely and didn't blame me a bit and "If I ever need work or anything for it just let them know."
So maybe service won't be that big a problem from them after all.
(I will do the majority myself, but I'm no deisl mechanic, if anything major happens I want someone close that can do it. Especially when it's under warantee.)
I've also gotten a better deal in the Houston area than locally on the JD as well.
$14,500 for the 790, FEL and box blade.
So, that puts the JD at $1000 less than the NH.
Decisions, decisions, decisions....
Anyway, no matter what I decide, it looks like I'll be driving 16 hours round-trip to get it!
Thanks again for the comments.
PS. Willl, I think my heart may actually be a little green!
