I think JD encourages dealers to only have late model equipment on their lot and I know for fact that JD discourages their dealers from selling shortline equipment .I had thatdiscussin when I was looking for a Great Plains drill last fall.  I rememember the 1980s if we have a run of $3,00 wheat and $2.50 corn  I think our local dealer businness model is going to backfire on them. I have the same dealer chain as you do 4450.
