 Tractorpoint could be a good resource

Maybe the "tractor gods" know something about the "free lunch" concept.

Bananas are cheap in central america. They cost a little more in Texas and you need a bank loan to buy them in some parts of Alaska. No-brainer. Same with tractors and other commercial goods.

Your post about saving 300 bucks on a 20,000 dollar, cross country tractor deal is a perfect example. Why bother? Some of us have seen this sort of thing so often that we can tell you the outcome before you ask.

You are still going to need fluids, filters and dealer support. And you will probably end up with regionally produced implements that have no dealer or warranty support this side of the mississippi.

In the end you will likely pay more than if you bought locally. No free lunch.

Please understand. I am NOT demeaning you.

I get ticked at the guys who should know better. That is the guy on the east coast who is trying to sell you something, knowing you are 3000 miles away. The reason the prices are higher in California is that your local dealer has to pay to have the damn thing shipped and so do you.

That said, I can tell you how you can save a little money from your location. But you will spend a lot of time and throw the dice on dealer support with my idea too.

Anyway, stick around. You are clearly an independent, critical thinker who will be an asset to the board.

There are, I think, 4 stages to adult learning.

1st.. Unconscious Incompetence. (You have no idea what you don't know.)

2nd....Conscious Incompetence. (How could I be so stupid?)

Next....Conscious Competence. (Wait... I can do this... give me a minute to remember...)

4th....Unconscious Competence. (I can do this with one hand tied behind my back, in my sleep, on a dark night standing on one foot while singing The Star Spangled Banner.)

Please note: This is the way adults learn. Children are from another planet.

Speaking of genes..... or in this case, jeans, have you noticed they don't last as long since they started stonewashing the crap out of them?
