I think it's getting close.

( Dave:

Personally, I think that you should sell DeTeacha a Mahindra right off your showroom floor, at dealer cost and then proceed to ship it to North East Ohio and pay the freight. Hopefully, it will have a comfortable seat.

Daryl, I'll get that shipped out right away! Perhaps if I can make up the loss in volume. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

daTeacha, I think I have figured out your problem, you've got three strong prospects and four choices /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif. Grade 'em on the curve and then draw one out of the hat.

Re: I think it\'s getting close.

I agree with murph. I'd spend the extra and buy new. For the prices I like the Case.

Just to back up my reasoning is the $2,500 spread out over a ten year perios is only $25.00 dollars per year. If this is a twenty year investment then it's only $12.50 per year. Doesn't sound like much when you put it that way.

Is that tractor math or a special 90% discount? /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Geez no wonder my business is failing. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif Big mistake there. I guess it's $250.00 per year. Maybe the John Deere isn't so bad, a guy could get some more implements instead. Unless you just like the ergonomics of the Case.

Re: I think it\'s getting close.

Good reasoning Murph! That's how I justified the NHTC48DA over the less costly Kioti DK45S, which I still think is a super tractor. Was just in love with that NH 18LA loader. I figured over whatever lifetime I still got, it would be just a few dollars a month more, so why sweat it, just git what I really wanted. Then after talking to Justin Reed at Antietam and telling him I was still undecided, he offered me a good deal on the TC48DA, and the rest is history. Antietam has been an absolute fantastic dealer also with discounts on items I purchased for the tractor, warranty issue, and now their Open House comming up, I'm planning on taking advantage of that also. I do reserve the right to one of those 2615 Mahindras Dave, but with a belly mower /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif! The Mahindra built IH3444 I've got has been a true workhorse, with little down time. Never knew a machine could take so much hammering and still come up smiling....... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Oh Lordy I have run the snot out of that old beast, and it still purrs......... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: I think it\'s getting close.

I'm with you on the Kubotas not working well for your carcass. My dealer also sells Cases and Kubotas and I was set on Kubota, but couldn't get comfortable in their seats. I bought a Case (DX35) and love the ergonomics. My choice of those you mentioned would be the Case.

Re: I think it\'s getting close.

Hi, Dave, if volume is what it takes for you to make money by selling at cost, then sign me up for 1 of those 3215's /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif. I will take 1 with a loader and backhoe, and so you can make even more money, I will let you throw in 1 of each size bucket for no charge /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Oh, it would be nice to have a grill guard also. Just set me up with the tractor like what is in the brochure /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif.
