I do not think you can go wrong with any of the three trans. I guess it is just personal preference. Shifting and using the cluthc just seemed natural and shifting and not using the clutch seemed unnatural. I have 50 plus acres and think the tractor will be great. Just need to make sure that Im going to go with this tractor. It is hands down my favorite but i have not driven everything yet. Lookin is half of the fun.

That is an excellent price imo. Loving the hst glad I got. I just feel much more at ease and quicker doing loader work. Who's 500 miles away quoting that? That's a great price I feel.

If you go and pick it up yourself, add $500 to the cost for fuel, food and a hotel room and you would be good to go.
My f250 has the 6.8 v10. Still tows great and gas is about. 50 cents cheaper. Would like to buy local and. Was quoted $28;200 locally for the same tractor. Not really looking for an hst but hard to ignore the price. What a delima!!! Also, really concerned about service and warranty issues with a new tractor not purchased locally. What do you think guys?

If your local dealer seems like a good guy, probably worth staying local, but if he and the shop are iffy, save yourself some money and take a couple of days to go and get the one from 500 miles away.
You could also ask your local guy if maybe he would split the difference with you. Maybe he can, maybe not, all he can say is yes or no.
Good luck.
Well the hst has been on the lot since Sept. 2011 so dealer wants to move it. Local guy seems to be selling a few tractors and will not budge a lot. I know dealers need to make money but 4k difference!!! Other dealers even want more for the tractor. What gives.

Well, if he can sell them for the high price, more power to him. But for that kind of money, I would be going the 500 miles to get mine.

4k is a HUGE difference. Id take the 500 miles. Is that dealer willing to meet you half way 250 miles? 4k is a mower and and who knows how much diesel. Is the local dealer aware your debating on a 500 mile drive for 4k less? I agree dealers need to make a living but if your losing local customers you'd think he'd at least come down and get serious about selling this machine. That's his loss he's sitting there paying interest since September.
