Any Virginia Tractors here?

Anywhere within a 45 min drive. I'd like to be as close to Thornburg as I can. I can fly my RC airplane at the field there.

So far, so good operationally wise.
However, somebody broke into it by prying open the sunroof and dropping down inside. I just had to strap a tarp over it today since it is going to rain the next few days.
I need the forward trim pieces where the sunroof hinges, and the linkage that opens and locks the sunroof. That linkage is what broke. Thankfully the glass held.
So, now I have to order these parts and I will see how well the dealer and LS come through for me.

Makes me mad just reading about this. I hate thieves. They're destructive, low life, scum, SOB's.

What's a "45 minute drive"? The growing urbanization has caused many in the DC area to move south and west.
In Virginia I'm ~ 40 miles north of Fredericksburg, it is often a 2 hour drive due to rush hour traffic. In Mississippi I'm about the same distance From Tupelo, there it's rarely more than a 45 minute drive.

It’s crazy the number of new houses going up on 3 between Fredericksburg and Culpepper. Traffic on 17 is getting nuts too. Not sure where they are all coming from and going to, but they sure are in a damn hurry.

Actually, that was why I decided to go with them. After reading stories from many different brand owners about buying their tractors at a dealer, only to find when it needed service, the dealers had zero skilled mechanics on hand.

I figured if Ratliff's was primarily a mechanic shop first, that would be where I would feel good about having my tractor serviced.

Yes I would agree. Hope it works out well for you.
