MF Dealerships - What's the Deal?

[SGM97B]

I am a Soldier stationed overseas but I have a house and property in NE Pennsylvania where my family lives. I have done a lot or research on the best CUT tractor for my needs and I think it is a MF 1528. So I contacted four different MF dealers in my area via their online "Send me a Quote" tool or by sending them an email inquiry. What I need is a price quote on a GC2400 or MF 1528 with 60"+ finish mower, front snow blade, and FEL. I get absolutely no response. Are MF dealers doing so much business that they don't need mine or are they just too lazy to respond? Is there a way to buy direct from the factory? Anyone have any suggestions on how to get a dealer interested in selling to me? I never had to beg a business to do business with me before but I am only home 2-3 weeks twice a year and need to buy this equipment so my wife can take care of our property. Need some help. Thanks

SGM, based on what I've seen & read on TBN, this might be a good contact for you:

Sweet Farm Equipment Co.,Disc Mowers, Compact Tractors,Implements, Ship Nationwide Daily

He's also an advertiser here, gives good, honest advice.

Spring time is busy season, how long ago did you send your requests? Were the dealers into AG stuff? They would be super busy right now.

By the way the 1528 is starting to get scarce being replaced by the 1529 and 1526.

I contacted three dealers six weeks ago and two other dealers two weeks ago. I have no idea how busy they are but I cannot imagine that their salesman couldn't reply; I am sure they know their prices. Besides, what is the point of advertising on the Internet if you have no intention or capability of replying to potential customers. The special financing ends on 31 May so I don't have much time. Once the special financing is over I will probably just go to another company. Cub Cadet also makes a good small utility tractor and if MF doesn't want my business I will go elsewhere. I was really wondering if there is a way to buy factory direct like you can at some of the larger AG shows.

The dealers don't call back because they don't have product to sell.

If you have a dealer close by consider a John Deere 2520. With the $2500 discount program I believe you will be pleasantly surprised with the price and how user friendly the tractor us.

There's a dealer in PA by the name of Wallace that is often on the Bob Cat forum that I'm pretty sure is a MF dealer too and I think he has some good pricing. Take a look over there and send him a PM.
