Hence... " the more than likely" part.

Sorry... but you would be wrong. Ford has very little control over their dealers.

i didnt mean the dealer I mean ford honoring a Wty

There are plenty of options of dealers and brands so if i get a sour taste i will move along - much like others but sadly the OP doesnt have as many options up north

Alaska - How are you coming with your tractor search? Did you get a new tractor and if so what.

My Kubota came from dealer One because they had the unit I wanted. My service is taken care of by another who is close by and happy to have my business they say. Dealer Two fixed a minor issue without any problems while under warrantee, something they found while I had it in for fluid changes on the hydro. I could easily have done the fluid changes but decided while it's under warrantee to have the dealer do this work. I had bought from dealer Two before and we have a good relationship. Also, the owners Son runs their repair shop and is very picky about things being right having good mechanics. Had I done the fluids myself, likely I would never have seen the warrantee issue until much later, after the warrantee expired. There are good and poor dealers in everything, some learn the hard way that good service is important helping to keep customers. In Alaska, where I too worked off and on for years, choices can be difficult and retail sellers are well aware of this and operate totally different in many ways then the lower 48. Kubota is not in the business of cutting prices much and we all pay handsomely for their products because they are good quality. even here where we have 4 Kubota dealers within 75 mile radius, prices are within a few hundred dollars. Were I in Alaska needing a tractor, warrantee and service would, I think, trump my purchase price if not ridiculously high but if it were, I"d look at another brand and also the biggest dealer available.
