| From my experience JD parts are not higher and perhaps a bit cheaper. For example I needed a threaded rod, and nut for a JD hay tedder made by Kuhn which is the same as the NH tedder. JD dealer had both parts but a 2 different locations for $29 total. Local NH dealer didn't have either part but they would have been $35 (20% higher). Next closest NH dealer didn't have either part and it would have been $32. I had to drive to 2 locations but at least JD had the parts and they were cheaper. I think alot of it is that there is enough JD equipment around that after market places like Shoup and Sloan keep the dealers somewhat honest. Now try buying parts for an Allis Chalmers planter, no aftermaket and you're at the mercy of AGCO. Because of the parts and service I'll keeping paying more for new or used John Deere. | |
