YUP!!

My wife and daughters DO drive my HST, but I am the one who really appreciates it. On my crazy hills it really increases the speed that I can work with my FEL.

But what I really don't understand is why anyone is buying non sync shifting machines when the reversers and hydros are so good. But that's OK if it makes 'em happy...

No that would be Shari (skeptic) who IS a girl and has an eHydro.

Looks like I am pretty close to pulling the trigger on a tractor.

It has been a long and winding road.

Going to dealer tomorrow to see if we can finalize things.

rockyridgefarm:
thanks for the tip about Tristate. Talked to Charlie on the phone today for the first time. He gave a great price first time. His price was < $300 over the other dealer's price for 4510 the same way! He seems like a straight-up guy also.

Ah, I love the sound of grinding gears in the morning! Nomal collar shifts do just fine. But then I have never used a Hydro other than that of moving one or two around the lot.

Yes it is! He sounds like a great guy to deal with.

Hope I get a drop or two of sleep tonight. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Wow Where is Tri state located? That sounds like a heck of a price. There may have to be a road trip in my future plans. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif PeterT

Southwest City, MO. For the last 70 years, I'm not sure where they were before that... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Charles has been there most of those 70 years...

Their full name is Tristate Hardware, and its an old time hardware store, with Green machines parked next to the bolt bins!!! They have a huge selection of the (small) Deere toys, too.

When I go there, or even call, they greet me by name, not because its their latest sales strategy.

Now, not everyone will like their setup, 'cause its small. They may not be able to do some things that a really big dealership can. But then the really big ones can't do some stuff (like give the most awesome price up front) that they do.
We really don't seem to have any rreally big dealerships around here, anymore. Since the farmers bloodbath in the '80s...
