i think he may be better buying used, at 100 miles that warenty is almost useless except for a major repair (well steve will ship the parts you need if one goes bad, say starter etc). But think about it if you need warrenty work and cant do it yourself to install the part you have a 5-6 hour 1 way haul to drop his tractor off, then a return trip. That would add up between time on the road and fuel, i think finding a good used one and paying labor for repairs may be more logical. Im in no way dogging steve, i have talked to him and hes a great guy buy that warrenty would really only be a parts warrenty at that distance. But if the thing blows up in 6 months and 50 hours later it would be deal to only have to drive 5 hours to drop a tractor off to be made good, a toss up only the OP can decide. ( i have not heard of any of Steve's tractors blowing up at 6months one or 2 years just to be fair)
