Might have to change brands

I guess there's a new equipment dealer going in reasonably close to me,compared to how far I have to go for anything else anyway. A Challenger dealer is going in in Ionia. They have two other locations here in Michigan,this one will be about half way between those two.
Farm Depot
 
Are you in the market for a 2-105 cab tractor?
I know nothing about it, not even price yet.
Retired farmer, father of a co-worker, is putting it up for sale.
I drove by it, grass grown up around it, so it's been sitting.
If you are I'll get you his number and a price.
It's on Stage Rd, 1/2 mile or so North of Nickleplate.
 
Switch to the kubota before the challenger, they will drop the challenger name within 5-10 years, and it will be all Massey ferguson, there already using the sisu motor that Massey owns, and don't put the cat name on any of them including the track ones. Won't be long and that "cat" track tractor will be a Massey, and it will be red. And I can't wait, love the Masseys
 
That'd be fine with me. I wish they'd take on the other Agco lines that I have to drive farther for.
 
I'd like to have one if it has air,but I'm way too preocupied with mudding in corn to get too obsessed with buying one right now.
 
I think it would be cool if they made a heritage edition or a American again, make them MM, Oliver, White and cockshutt, but I bet they never will
 
Muddin in corn, huh? We got 1.75 inches out of that last storm. Just got our power back on about an hour ago. Went out somewhere about 1:15 am - apparently a substation in Edmore took a direct hit. Got up at dawn, to put generator in action.... Fuel line was leaking something fierce. No big deal, got a backup generator. Pulled it out, and same problem. Fortunately hardware store in Six Lakes was running on generator - had a foot of fuel line. Got one gene going, then got call from daughter in Edmore. SHe had a large amount of cakes in the freezer, waiting for decorating. Fixed other generator and dragged it to her place. Spent the day babysitting generators. But we didn't loose any refrigerator/freexer stuff, kept water on for animals. One thing, Dad's generator service sure is more expensive than commercial power. Htose things were guzzling about a gallon an hour each.
 
I know the man that started Farm Depot. His name is Mike Lathem and use to be the John Deere Dealer in Caro. Super fine young gentleman. I have bought a lot of equipment from him. Also very wet here. Got nearly 5 inches in parts of Genesee County last night.
 
My freezer is in the shop/ If I lose power I have a 25 year old Kubota, 1000 watt generator that starts easily and I run the freezer off that, Two 3 hour periods per day. Pretty cheap. 2.5 gals per day.
 
Do you have any idea when it's opening? I live about 5 miles from there. Will be nice to have a little competition for baders.
 
Get this!

Look awesome...Wait a few years, they will make them for all to buy along with the wheel 4wd.
 
Don't know. I just have heard that they've been in there working all month getting ready. They already hired a mechanic away from Williams in Charlotte. They're going in the old Lowes or Home Depot building,I forget which. Whichever one closed up.

From what I've seen hauling to Lake Odessa,Maple Valley and Jansen are already giving Bader a run for their money. This might REALLY cause them to take a better look at their attitude.
 
Ya,I had 1.75 too. Did you get as much last week as I had? I had a hair over 4 inches. I talked to Hoople Saturday,he said he only had 2 up there.
