John from Tractor Connection use to be very active on the tractor boards. Maybe he still is on CTOA. Always seemed like a straight shooter with his posts/responses.
Terry from Tractor Outlet, has been selling crate tractors, for a number of years. A co-worker purchased one from him, and was/still is, very happy. The biggest issue, that I've heard some complain about, are the sometimes long delivery time and lack of up to date status. You are paying upfront, and waiting on a single import. Many things can factor in on delays, that are out of Terry's hands. Delays are tough on the buyer just waiting to get his hands on the new tractor. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
BTW, they are relatively close to each other, and from my understanding, good friends /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
