Yup, a good dealer can be worth his/her weight in gold. That was why I went with Branson over Mahindra.

Deere offered a lot of incentives to the dealer to bring customers over from other brands, which the dealer passed on to me. In the end, the 4044R cab was about $1500 less than the Kubota L4060HSTC

I cover alot of it in this thread.

And that's where it should have remained. I saw the thread you linked while looking at options. It is apparent that Kubota has better quality control than Deere, that while both have occasional issues Deere seems to have more of them, particularly in some series. That said, the 4M and 4R series have few reported issues. And it is also true that a good dealer standing solidly in your corner is a huge advantage. Once a man has done his research, weighed the pros and cons and made his decision, to crap in his Cheerios like you did contributes nothing to the thread except to display pettiness and mean-spiritedness.

Semper fi

I appologize. It was wrong for me to mention my personal disgust with the brand you selected. I hope your new machine serves you well.
