All I know is that a $5K tractor in Michigan or Ohio or Indiana is a $8-10K tractor here in Northern NY. I look at Tractorhouse, etc. and see, for instance, 5000 Fords with good rubber and in fine cosmetic shape go for, say, $6500. Up here that same tractor would go for at least $8500-9K. If the average tractor from up here went south it'd be considered junk. Rust is big up here, few people have tractor sheds, tires are unreal. IMO location has a lot to do with it.
As far as dealers, our local JD dealer is a pretty good outfit, but- I was looking for a 65-75hp diesel. Their sales guy talked me into trying a MF165 they had on the lot. The hyd pump was shot, wouldn't lift my bale spear, much less a bale. Found out later I was the 3rd guy they tried this on, knowing the pump was bad. Being 10-20hp less than I needed was one thing, but sending a broken unit out was kinda dumb IMO. The Case/AGCO/NH dealer is even worse, their parts guy is surly and they won't even consider budging on prices for used equipment that's already sky high. I don't get it. THey must see the trucks from Monroe and Lamb&Webster and some of the other big outfits in the area. You'd think they'd at least try to compete.

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
