The deed is done - New 3005

Congrats! You might as well go ahead and spend $2 extra and get the shim kit. Then $15 on a plastic battery box. Seems to be the main things the 790 / 3005 really needs.

Shim kit is nice. I have't had any problems with my battery leaking. Lots of ways to spend lots of money tricking out your tractor.

So far the only thing I have used the loader for is moving a bit of snow. I'm just trying to get the hang of using the loader on something that won't break it!

One of the first things I want to put on it is a canopy. I had one on the TC30, and I really liked that.

I would check the battery for leaks when you do any kind of service.
i had one that started leaking, i bought a new one from a auto parts
store and put it in a battery box. I know a couple people close to me
that had one leak and it really made a mess.

I have heard several people on here that's had problems with JD
battery's, i don't know where JD gets there battery's but some of
them can be a problem.

I hope there are dealers or employees of dealers who pay attention to these thread about the level of service they provide. It is beyond me how anyone can provide poor service in such difficult economic times. Don't they realize our money is hard earned and we expect to be treated fairly?

or employees of dealers who pay attention to these thread

I know of at least 1 local JD salesdude that reads this forum almost religiously. Wont post, but he does read it.

Now whether he's paying attention.......j/k

I then contacted Deere Country in Seymour. The salesman I spoke with owned up to being fairly new, but was still helpful. He agreed to come and look at my tractor and made me trade offers for each of the two tractors I was considering. Even though their initial price on the 3005 was higher than the other dealership, they agreed to match the original lower price the other dealer had quoted me. They also offered me $700 more in trade for my TC30 than the Bloomington dealership did. They also quoted me a price of $180 to fill the rear tires with Rim Guard.

I am glad to hear the positive review on your dealer. An honest salesman, IMHO no matter how experienced, or in experienced is priceless. If he/she does now know, they will find and let you know.

The honest ones are hard to find.
