I would get a price from a dealer a little further out if i had too, this dealer you have is not budging figuring you will have to deal with him, like some other reply noted, the factory carries the warranty not the dealer, your local would have to honor the warranty. As far as implements, JD is real proud of some of them, ones that are universal such as the rear blade I would get from a Ag supply house, they will a whole lot cheaper...........
