Truck9,
There is a great dealer in El Dorado, S & G Equipment. Just before you reach Placerville on Hwy 50. This is where I bought my LK3054XS. Great machine and very happy with the dealer. He was very competitive and helpful. If you go up there, be sure and stop by "Poor Reds" for some ribs and Gold Cadillacs.
Dave's Tractors is worth a look as well. I traveled the three hours to check out him out. My purchase of the Kioti had nothing to do with Dave or his line. The Kioti was just a better fit for me. Dave should be in his new facility by now.
Good luck and if you you are ever heading to Reno, you are welcome to come by and check out my tractor and ask questions. I am in the Colfax area, about 5 minutes off of I80. I also travel to your area on a regular basis for work and would love to see what you end up with.
Let me know if I can answer any other questions.
