That is a long story, but to make it short I gave right at 18,000 for the tractor, loader and brush guard. But that was almost 2,000 cheaper than the kubota dealer that is 15 miles from my house. He told me that I could not buy that tractor for that. I had to drive almost 400 miles to get it for that. I will spend a $100 on fuel to save $2000 every day. Deen Implement in Texas is where I got it.............Thanks.
