The East Hartford store still appears to have some open station models.
There was one, out front, last week.
Their website lists them - 36, 45 & 55's.
Not sure if they're all on-site, or available by transfer from other locations?
The are tempting, but I'm on notice from The Plant Manager, so no green machines for me.

Well as it ends up when I went to sign the papers I found out the 36H tractor was a tier 4. Didn't want that. They could not find a tier 3 in the 36 hp model not even a gear tractor. They did find LM 45H in another store. They are having it shipped and they are covering the fright and it also comes with a sun shade. I had really rather have the smaller tractor as I have several 75 hp farmtrac tractors. Price went up to $22500
The LM45H is also tier 4. You would need the LM43 to have the Perkins diesel. The 45 is a Yanmar with DPF. I have only seen one person with any problems with this engine so far, unlike the Mahindra engine I the 25XX series.
Btown you are spot on. The tractot is a LM45 and it was delivered to the store yesterday. He called me and said he was sorry when he found out it had regen. Said it didn't have to have the fluid though. I told him the main reason I wanted to buy the tractor was that it was to be a tier 3. Salesman said I could back out and he would refund me the deposit but if I would go ahead and take it he would credit my credit card back $500. I thought about about it until today and decided to go ahead and take the tractor as I was already approved for the 0% for five years. Will pick it up Wednesday. I hope I am not making a big mistake that is going to cost me a lot of money ten years down the road when the computer stuff starts giving trouble. I know nothing about these engines. I wonder if in time the DPF system can be taken off like a Cat on a car and not mess up anything. The way I will use the tractor hauling deer corn, picking up harvested deer and running a three point log splitter at around 1K rpm the tractor will have to go into to regen very often. Thanks btown for the info.

Not sure why the dealer didn't know this, but Tier 3 was only for 75HP and above prior to 2011. Anything under 75HP, or past 2011, has been Tier 4 interim or Tier 4 final. You won't find any recent-year tractors in the HP range you're shopping that are Tier 3. They don't exist.
He was a Cablea's power sports salesman. Cablea's is getting away from tractors. He said he could find a older tier 3 at another store and have it shipped in. These salesman seem to know a lot more about boats than they do about tractors. When the tractor cam it their mechanic told him it had regen on it. So he offered me $500 to keep it. I guess I should have done more research on cablea's tractors myself.

Truth be known, you probably got a good tractor at a great price. I wouldn't worry about the tier 4.
I hope so. I have been doing research on removing the filtering media in the DPF. A little cutting and welding. Computer should not do a regen then.

Service centers have an obligation to verify operational safety equipment on vehicles and off road equipment. That is true for both warranty condition reports as well as for their service records andstate business licenses. Unless you plan to do all your own servicing work. . And not utilize your 5 year warranty. . I would not be modifying the air and pollution control devices n your new tractor. JMHO
