Time is an issue now. Need help!!

[JerryG]

Yes, I did call an OK dealer. MF 1540 is $1800 less than local, but just or even cannot cover the shipping cost.

Another dummy question, can I use R4 front tires and R1 rear tires together in my situation?? the DK40SE I am looking, the front R1 only 8"(8-16/6) and R4 is 10"(10x16.5/6) wide. And change front tires sounds little easier because FEL can lift.

Jay hit it on changing just the front tires. It will cause problems.
Just curious, what did they want for shipping? Was it from Sids?

Yes, they said shipping will cost 3K. I heared some one can find 1k shipping some time. but if $1500, no big different to me.

I believe that you will damage your MFWD if you use R-1's and R-4's simultaneously (different circumferences). MFWD tractors are specifically geared for compatible tires.

Tractor and attachment costs appear to be much higher in the Northeast .

There are at least three excellent dealers in New York State,,
K.C.Canary, a Deere dealer, White's farm, has several lines, and Emerich sales which I believe is Kubota only,.., For being in the northeast, these three mentioned dealers have a superb following and I can't remember ever hearing anything bad from cost to buy to warranty repair, regular maintenance needs, impliments and so on,.. Give these dealers a call first and see what they can or cannot do for you.

I am in the very south part of NY, close to NJ and PA borders. Just checked, K.C.Canary(155 miles),White's farm(228 miles),Emerich sales(133 miles). Looks too far to me. But I will try to call them. Thanks a lot.

How do you feal about the dealer? I bought a used 350 hr. CK30. It was used very hard but it was relatively new and I am mechanically inclined and I thought I could handle any issues that came up. It was one of the first CK30s sold in this area. Just about every known and some unknown problems with this model have come up. The selling dealer is no help. The original dealer also sells John Deere and has a take it or leave it attitude which is a common problem among tractor dealerships from reading this forum. So take into account your ability to work with your dealer in case warranty issues surface. If you have a properly sized trailer and tow vehicle you may fair better for warranty work than I did. Since it is over 200 miles round trip to my dealer and I do not have a trailer I am on my own. There are helpful dealers that try to pick up the slack but there is only so much they can do. If you do not have a trailer, work out an agreament ahead of time for hauling for warranty work.

You might want to check out Messicks for NH / Kubota if you are near PA

Twigpig. It is bother me too. I don't have any experience dealing real problems with them now. From buying experience, like a people used living our area said, they are no interesting sell tractors to rookie farmer and homeowner. What I can read from their face is, take the price we give and better do not come back. May be the $2000 more charge can let them feel better to fix the tractor later. Really no idea about that.
I am much worse than you. I prefer to fix a computer much more than a tractor.

On the way to Scranton on I84 is another dealer that posts here called Wallace tractor,, I know he also has delivered some considerable mileage and those that have dealt with him, seem to like him a lot,

 

[M31]

Thanks, Larry. I contacted them both. Could I ask your a question, if you have chance to pick one from KB L3830HST and Kioti DK40SE HST, same great dealers same distances same prices. First impression, which one you will pick?
