I beleive that CIH, or more correctly Case New Holland, or more correctly Fiat is a good company producing good products. It is becoming more common to buy from a dealership than a tractor brand. I have a MF dealer within 5 miles but I wouldn't buy a lugnut from them. Few parts in stock, poor mechanics, and little new equipment on the lot. The trend is also multistore dealerships. Jacobi, my CIH dealer, has 6 locations, Deer Country my JD dealer has 3 maybe more, Wright Implement my other JD has 2, Hody, Dye, and Read, my New holland dealer has 2 and Whayne Supply my Cat dealer has several, not to mention Kubota. One of the rules of retail business is: "All brings being equal, you will buy from who you like, all things not being equal you will still buy from who you like."
