our decision to get rid of the deere tractors basically came down to two things. 1) lack of proper dealer support- if your arnt one of the big players in the area spending 300,000$+ a year at the dealership they really only seem interested in making the intitial sale. trades were considered but not encouraged. 2) parts supply was becoming ridiculous for a company that has its claim to fame with off the shelf parts. also the prices arnt at an acceptible level. my discbine broke down this summer middle of haying season and it took them 2 weeks to get parts in "overnight". once i got the bill and saw what they charged me for some items a basic hardware store had at triple cost that was the tipping stone. 5 dollar a piece bolts, flat washers, etc. a 600dollar tie rod end. 1800 dollar dash. . . . . you get the idea. im far from the only guy switching things up here for equipment, even if the dealer is 3 hours one way drive
