Hello Dreamin_Tractors
As you know, we are both living where income results in attitude. If you have visited our closest blue, orange and green dealers, I'm sure you have experianced that certain uppity attitude. Therefore I began seeking dealers with a more rural neighborly attitude. Which meant go north to the Mt. Vernon / Burlington area,or south to the Centralia / Chehalis area. Luckily an advertisement from Brim Tractor the New Holland dealer in Burlington caught my eye,drawing me north first
I had intended to shop for orange as my first choice, with green as second. Upon my first visit to Brim I knew that I had found the very type of dealer I had been looking for. Plus their prices and financing packages beat orange and green by a good margin. They had no problem letting me spend twenty minutes behind their lot actually getting a new 7038 bucket attatched to a new TC29 dirty. When I expressed unhappiness with the capacities of the 7038 loader. They helped me set up a package with a Woods 1012 loader. As well as a Woods 7500 backhoe. Both of these should improve my total overall package. As well as bringing the price in, close to $1000 cheaper. The last thing that sold me was, one of their mechanics told me of someone in my area that had purchased the very same package that I was looking at. Thus giving me a chance to contact them and check it out as a package before hand. Talk to Brent Vander Pol, tell him I told you.
This is something I would advise for anyone before purchasing. Go in the back and talk to the mechanics. They are the ones with the day to day experiance with all of these tractors
Good luck on your purchase. Remember right now
New Holland has extremely good financing.
