I just saw this post. Your problems will be over alright. After you buy the tractor, you can't afford to even fill it with fuel so it doesn't get abused. The guy working his red tractor has to give you some coin for fuel so he can at least see if your green iron runs. When you do finally get it paid for, you have to park it again because it will need parts and you'll be broke again. No one make of tractor is better than another. I had an 87 JD crawler. Paid about $35 for a fairly thick operators manual that basically told me the bare minimum. I now have a cat and the manual is way more informative. I've seen other JD manuals that aren't much better. I guess they figure with all your money, you can just have the dealer fix it. The JD's from a few years ago were good tractors but were also known to be a lot harder on fuel than most others. You opened a whole can of worms and I have nothing against JD's except I know a couple of farmers up here that think they are the be all end all of tractors. Why do you think JD went into the turf business? More people are finding other tractors that are as good or better for a lot less money. In world wide sales JD is far from the top. Allans tractors look to be in tip top shape. Dave
