HOGwild as far as I am concerned LS is the one being a *** about this ,they are mad because Montana ended up with the NC plant and its assets , they did not buy the stock in the contry ,that already belonged to textron on their floor plan so Montana had no conection to those dealers or tractors they baught a escort tractor with some parts and then secured a ten year agrement for parts from escort , so now LS (loosing face and millions)is putting the squize on montana by slow parts ship and upping there tractor price on the new modles and becides it will be very hard to sell aginst the factory selling tractors .I think with LS and Montana not talking Montana will drop LS and merge with KUKJI ?????---------dave
