Our friends from John Deere have again invited me out to view their products. For my trouble last year they gave me a nice pair of gloves, this year a set of sockets. Looking forward to next year.

Careful, you could find yourself being swayed to go Greene.

I bought one and all I got was a hat. :mad:

Neener, neener, NEEEEEner! I got a (vinyl) 'bomber' jacket AND a hat. :number1:

When I bought my tractor I had just moved to my property and didn't have any tools to maintain it. (I didn't even have a workshop/shed yet) So I simply bought what I needed whilst there at the JD dealership... I've been doing it ever since, to the point that it's become a running gag amongst my neighbours.

The quality is very good.

Are the sockets made in china?? Last deere tools I looked at, were all made in china! BUT, they still had the john deere price!

They look almost identical to a Stanley set that I'm sure cost way less.

You must have a smaller tractor to bargain with. For getting a quote to trade my M135GX on a Deere 6M or 6R, I got a 3/4" drive socket set with ratchet. The Deere tools are top grade. My cousin got them to throw in a 1/2" drive set with the 7720 and it's the only set on which we haven't been able to break the Rachel with use of major cheater bars. Year before they had a different offer for getting a quote, something about $100 less than what they valued the 3/4" drive set. Times are tough in the ag business. We still have most of last year's harvest in the bin and the prices keep getting worse.
