[AT] How about this orange tractor, Attn: Travis

[charliehill]

Travis as much as I'd like to write a check for one of those DT's (if I 
could) the first thing I thought about is how complex they are and how 
expensive they would be to fix.  I'm pretty sure, knowing dealers in this 
area, that the dealer told you exactly that.  I also agree with Steve O. 
That ain't the way to fix them, unfortuneately that's the way a lot of car 
and truck dealers (and probably tractor dealers) go about it.

Steve O,  I have a car dealer friend that owns dealerships for six different 
brands that I know of, both domestic and foreign.  He told me several years 
ago, " these computer cars are great until they break but no one can fix 
them.  you need to trade them as soon as the warranty runs out".  I don't 
agree with him but that's what he told me.
