Mike,
You cant go wrong buying a tractor from Buck at EFC,
He will treat you right & bend over backwards to keep you happy even after the sale.

Thanks, Ernie! I did end up buying one from Buck..Tho I never did actually SEE Buck, I assume he exists! (He was hunting) Bought a Mitsu (sorry, all you YM guys)..They made me a fair deal on an 1800D, which has MUCH more legroom than the YM I was looking at..AND more gearing options/ 3 speed PTO, etc. Bought with Koyker FEL & backhoe)
THANKS to everyone for all your info & suggestions! See ya in the forums!

Blue is Beautiful! Mike

Mike, I am very sorry that I didn’t get a chance to meet you. It is my loss for sure. This time of year I am either on a plane or hunting..... and I get to go hunting VERY LITTLE

I really wanted to go to work.......

Buck..S'okay that we haven't met..we'll certainly get the chance down the road. After all, you're taking care of me in absentia anyhow!! By the way, your man Cory is VERY helpful & knowledgeable. I thank you for the after-sale help..

For all the other readers here, I elected to buy this MT-1801D from Buck & EFC..They had just replaced the PTO bearing & seal, so my thinking is, that tractor will not need attention in that area as soon. Brought the tractor home (across the state). Seal on PTO still weeps a bit (not bad, but still...)..So Buck authorizes Cory to arrange transportation & repairs from ACROSS the state..All FREE..THAT, my friends, is SERVICE!! Thanks, Buck!!

Well done Buck.

By the way..To all of you..Thanks for all your help! Buck's crew came & picked up my tractor. It is now being repaired...Buck: Your son's hunting experience is WAAY more important than my tractor's little repairs..(I have enough to do while it's gone) I know your crew is working on it..But this is one of the pivotal points in your father/son relationship that you cannot miss. I know..I missed it with MY dad..He was too busy! We went hunting exactly ONCE..I was 35 or 40 years old by then..Too much water under the bridge by then..Use the time you have NOW!!!..All my best!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gifMike
