...you stop into the store to get some filters and oil and come away with nearly $1,000 worth of goodies. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Okay, that's not entirely true, but I wasn't planning on buying anything major. Because of the deal my NH dealer made me, I just could not help myself. If anyone in N. Texas does not check with McMaster New Holland on Hwy 287 in Decatur, Tx prior to buying, you may be missing a great deal. I know this is a shameless "plug" and that's exactly what I meant it to be. The three McMaster brothers are improving their store and have a great inventory of tractors and implements. Just because you don't see it, you should ask. They might have what you need sitting in their warehouse.
So why am I so pleased? Well, I bought a 72" toothbar that fit my 16LA heavy duty bucket perfectly for under $300. This thing has removable/replaceable teeth and even came with the correct mounting bolts. The suggested retail price is about $350 and that would be a bargain. It wasn't a "close" fit, it was a perfect fit. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif There are 1-1/2" slots on the bar to the sides of the bucket for the bolts, and I never had to even pry the bar to line it up perfectly.
While I was talking to Steve, I mentioned I'd like to add a tilt cylinder to my 3PH, but needed to add an additional two remote valves. Well, he made me a price well below retail on the two valves and said he could order me a bolt-on 8" throw tilt cylinder and have it in three days with the restrictor valve and hoses. The total quote including the toothbar, remotes, and tilt "kit" was less than $950. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif How could I refuse. This dealer has a history of surprising me this way. He's the same one I "negotiated" my tractor purchase with and he quoted me a price $100 less than what I had figured was the bottom dollar. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
Okay, I did buy a tractor from this dealer and I do send everyone to him that I can, but how could I not do that when he gives me such great deals and service? If you are in N. Texas and want to deal with a great family dealership, do yourself a favor and stop by McMaster in Decatur. They've sure made a loyal customer out of me. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
