Back when we bought our first Magnum we had the local JD and CIH dealers bring out a 150-160 hp tractor. Used each one for a half day on the same chisel plow in the same field with two different drivers. Although we could have put up to 8 hours on each machine, after four we had made up our mind. Last fall the dealer insisted on letting us use a MX220 for 10 hours even though we had no intention of buying a new tractor. We gladly took him up on the offer and used the full 10 hours and only had to pay for the fuel we used. When spending $100K or more for a tractor or other machine today, you better try out your machine and make sure you are making the right decision. Sure has saved us from a few. If your dealer won't let you demo one, find a new dealer. Follow Ups: Post A Followup Name: E-Mail: Subject: Re: Re: Are there dealers who won't let you demo tractors????
