LB,
I see even though your two local John Deere dealerships have closed, there's a much larger dealer coming soon...
Bridgeport Equipment will be opening over on route 7 where Wolohan Lumber used to be... they will be employing 40 people!

I think what's interesting about this is this is exactly the direction described inr ecent posts concerning JD small local JD dealerships closing and the larger ones with multiple locations are getting larger...

I was reading in the newspaper that Bridgeport Equipment paid 2 million dollars for the building and property alone, before they do any remodeling to it, let alone sell the first tractor there. It seems to me with this kind of overhead, I wonder how these mega-dealers can sell for less than the small place they are replacing?

IF they have a grand opening 1/2 price sale on the tractor of my choice I might be interested in getting a JD.

Mr. Brown, I was just curious. I looked in your profile, and it says Hours:77..surely that is a mistake. I would have thought that with all your posts and the commentary you provide, your hours would have been way up there. Maybe your just new to tractoring. You sure liven up a discussion, I know that.

Was that 77 whole hours? Or was it 77.5 or 77.6, etc...?

For anyone in the Mid-Ohio Valley interested in John Deere tractors and such, along with other power equipment, tool rentals, and outdoor clothing, I see there is an article in today's newspaper about Bridgeport Equipment's grand opening of their fourth location.

After the shakeup LB brought to our attention I'm afraid of green now. Sounds like MTD's the way to go. Do they make remote control models? I'll need about 10 or 12 of them ganged together so I don't have to change implements. Then, in the winter, I can just look through the window while I work. This is going to make cabs obsolete!

How do you use a tiller and do FEL work at the same time with only 1 tractor?

 

[LWB]

I don't have use for a tiller. I use my tractor mostly in a truck shop; pallet fork work, box blading a rear gravel parking, snow removal in the winter with either the box blade or a 74" 3ph snow blower (seldom use the loader bucket), pulling semi trucks once in a while, moving ball hitch trailers with the 3ph drawbar. I even loaded a race car body once into a Refer from the rear using the forks. The front end was tied back to the frame. Worked slick. By the way, the MTD thing was just a joke.

3 JD dealers in my area going out of business. JD is clamoing down on the small dealers, so they're basically getting PUSHED out because of big business.
