Visited a dealer who has been in the area for a long time and has good Google ratings (for whatever that's worth). Have used them for service on other machines and they have been responsive, if not perfect. Seems like their primary business is lawn equipment, with tractors as a sideline.
Owner (also one of the mechanics judging by the grease under his fingernails) is generally very knowledgable about tractors...but I was surprised that he didn't seem to get why anyone would ask for a hydraulic top link, or for extra remotes. Also in our very mountainous area, he stated no one ever asked for filled tires and so they did not offer this service. Also, all of the new implements for sale were outside (not unusual I guess) but were extremely rusty, including the moving parts (pins and sliding bits for hooking them up).
Is any of this cause for concern? Next nearest dealer is over an hour away.
Thanks!
