A dealer near KC has either a 8300T or 8400T used with no 3pt on his lot. At the price he is asking he's going to have to find a "greater fool" or he's going to have it a while. Actually I would like to buy a tractor with no 3pt but it would have to be at a price at a really big discount to one with a 3 pt. We have enough applications we could get the use out of it to the point resale was no longer a relavent issue. I sure wouldn't order a new one that way though - in this area you would have to figure on running till it died or take a bath. Have a neighbor that bought a new 8300T demonstrator off a dealers lot in Canada but he did ok - got a really huge discount and then some up front - if he gets any decent hours use out of it at all he could knock it in the head (salvage yard) when he is finished with it and still come out ok. I would buy a tractor with no 3 pt like that.
