I see a lot of people spending $12,000-$15,000 on RZR's and other recreational vehicles as "toys" I had some cash saved up and decided to splurge on the backhoe as a "toy". If I don't get my monies worth out of it...oh well, I'm sure I will have fun with it. As for the tractor, I feel that it will be more than capable for mowing my yard and any other small tasks I need it for. I checked out the larger tractors, and the taller stance and larger tires just didn't fit the bill for what I am wanting right now.
Ready to pull the trigger on 1026r and need reassurance.

As long as you consider it disposable income and recognize it that way then enjoy your new machine. Certainly is better for the economy if everyone would spend a little money I guess.
How long does it normally take for the dealer to get all the paperwork together and get everything together? They didn't want to follow through with my credit app yesterday at 4:30 because they closed at 5, then he called me back today and asked for my birth date because he forgot it and that was all I got. I kind of expected them to call me back today to have me finish signing everything and put my down payment on it? I feel like I'm not being taken seriously where I'm a younger buyer, I have gotten that treatment at the car lot on several occasions.

On a Saturday, if they weren't taking you seriously... I don't think they would have called you at all.
I could be totally wrong, so I apologize if I am, but I think you are very excited and probably nervous... because you are spending A LOT of money. It might just be a little impatience, anxiety, excitement, already missing the 20+K that will no longer be available...
Just a guess. I wouldn't sweat the call or lack there of...IMO
I was shocked that I didn't get the car dealer treatment too. The biggest surprise was the wait for them to install the mower, power beyond, subframe, and thumb. It took about 2 weeks for them to build it, but they had to order parts and this was when the 1026 first came out.

It seems to me this is happening more and more lately. Businesses advertise for business, but when you call them they just ignore you. Called by phone, requested info on Internet and in some cases actually went into business locations in the last while and said I need a quote on xyz and want to go ahead asap. Surprising how many couldn't even return my call, email or get back to me.

I have a 3320 CAB with BH and have never for a minute regretted spending the money. Do I use the BH a lot - No - but it is there when I want and these JD yard toys don't really lose all that much value if it comes time to sell.
Buy It - Enjoy It. You will find more uses than you ever imagined.
