Mike,
I think it will all depend on inventory's. When I was trying to buy my TC29D the dealers in my area were ticked off because New Holland was painting everything Red. It was kind of the kick of for Case IH and they wanted to make sure all of thier dealers had stock. They didn't care about the NH dealers. My loader was shipped twice, wrong both times and then they ended up piecing loaders together to make one for me and that still didn't work. Finally I told them to keep thier tractor and loader and I would go buy Green. NH home office then got me one right away. But the dealers all told me last summer 2002 that they were upset with the shortage of NH and the overage of Case
