Tractor8100, I actually trade with one of the owning partners at The Prairie land Partners JD in Anthony Ks for my big AG equipment and the Prairie land Wichita store for my small tractors and yard stuff, it was formally Conrady Western.
87bearcat after getting all the inside hands-on scoop on all the upgrades to the 70 series at the factory tour, I actually called from the hotel room after the tour and wanted to order the 9770 when the ordering window came open. When the 9660 arrived I paid for it, never ran it or even picked it up and months later they sold it. To date they are holding a credit for the exact amount I paid for the 9660 to go toward the 9770 when it gets here. They also provided me with a decent loaner for wheat harvest, so how can I honestly complain, (I don't know about my soy/Milo harvest yet) In my opinion for something I started, they truly did bend over backwards for me. I did get a little upset over the extra $$ for an 09 so they offered me my 9660 $$ back if the 9770 comes in an 09 but it wouldn't make sense to take my $$ back and start all over somewhere else. I was not told why it might be bumped, overseas sales issues or the Quad City flooding, I was just told it can and might happen. The date still stood as of last week. I want to stress again that the dealer has gone way above and beyond his call of duty to make sure I'm taken care of and that's why he has my Business. I also ordered an 08 8330 50" rears and duels all around, IVT, ILS, and AMS/GPS auto steer and got it in Feb., Its one awesome tractor. The Gold Key tour at the Waterloo Tractor Works was a lot better then the Harvester tour was.
