Sales guy is out till next week....going to see what they can do....thinking about having him find a used unit, 09 or newer. ...and buy it.... maybe a lease for the winter, if that's an option. Found out the New Holland/Ford dealer near me is also a Pronovost dealer. Not really interested in a blue tractor, only because the John Deere dealer/owner is a close friend of my parents. ..plus their support is awesome around here.
