I guess American companies may want to bring their manufacturing back to the US instead of Mexico and China who BTW still uses slave labor and child labor.

The Chevy's that replaced the Fords with had decent tires.

Look at the dealers in your area. Parts and service make a huge difference when looking.

They were junk from day 1. 1st we are in a snowy area in the North and picked them up in the winter. Ford tires suck in the snow. We had to change all our tires. It went downhill from there.

2018 all of them

The police are right about it being a civil matter. You may have to check with a lawyer that deals with property. Also when you bought your place did they do a title search? If there was one it maybe listed in that.

My last work truck was a Ford F250. I will never own another one. My company bought 6 of them at the same time. All 6 spent more time in the garage than on the road. From what I heard about the eco boost is there are many issues with them also.

Yeah, those issues plage everything. And looking at used ones pre def you get 2 types. WAY overpriced or beat to hell.

I have a woods and love it. 0 issues with it other than I wish I went with a hydraulic top link.

Do you know anything about Bobcats? I have looked into them, and it seems people love them or hate them. Yes, having a dealer 5 min away would be a BIG plus.

Here in the near future I will be buying a new mini excavator to use on my land not for business. I would like some thoughts on my dilemma: 1. The closest dealership (5 min away) is a Bobcat dealer. I have never run or worked on a Bobcat and know very little about them. The dealer sells and...

Unfortunately I am moving to a new area and haven't had dealings with any of the dealers. Where I am at the JD and Cat dealer is great and no issues with NH / Kabota. The Case dealer on the other hand I wouldn't recommend to my enemies. That is not saying Case isn't good but the dealership sucks.

Good point on part availability. I have a New Holland farm tractor and In my current area the Kabota / New Holland dealer is the same. It is a large dealer but for parts for the New Holland unless the part matches a Kubota part then they have to order it.

Question on buying a new piece of equipment. What do you think is more important: 1. The brand of the equipment (Cat, John Deere, Kabota, Case...)? OR 2. How close the dealer for parts and service is to you? I am looking at a new / use excavator and I have always used Cat or John Deer however...

Yes you want the weight on the hitch. If you have a draw bar and towing a trailer that is best
