remember dealers
if you recended your contracts selling any think Farmtrac may be construed as acceptance of terms. I am waiting on council to define. We don't want to do anything that would set precidence in court.

Another 535 owner here. I've had mine since August, 06. About 250 hours. I financed the tractor at the 60 month rate. I bought a loader a year ago on the better than 0 plan. I got two checks.
My dealer is a good man. He has 30-some Farmtracs parked on a hill behind his place. I was trying to negotiate a trade up to a 545 just before Christmas. He never called me back, which I thought was odd. When I finally talked to him in late January, he explained why.
Funny thing is, if things were to get straightened out, I would probably trade up to a 545, because I have had good service from my dealer (I have bought tractors there before), I like the product, and I need a tad more horsepower.
I have to say, though, I would probably be looking for a deep discount. I think that is what it will take for the product to become a viable alternative on the new tractor market again.
I looked at Farmtracs for several years before I decided to buy. I knew the old Ford NH platform was what I wanted, but I wanted to make sure the support was going to be there. I watched the Farmtrac display at Sunbelt Expo grow from a couple of local dealers with two or three tractors five or six years ago to an impressive display with tractors and implements from the entire product line on display the last year or two. I decided that the company was really trying to make a move in the US market, and I could buy with confidence that support would be there. We all see what happened.
I hope things get straightened out.
