Don't let landSurfer get to you, Parn! This forum is just that; - an exchange of information, good and bad. By the way, I had a demo from that same dealer and the demo went off without a problem. My 9660 could in no way touch the lexion, although the lex was a Class larger. I think it comes down to service, and your concerns are valid. Rumour has it that Claas only wants 4 or 5 dealers in the entire province of Ontario; - doesn't leave too many choices. I think Vincent's will represent Claas well, as will Oneils in the east. Nevertheless, it will be tough to beat the service that Deere has provided this area. I have mixed thoughts of the STS, but I have NO complaints about the service and parts availability I've received to date, and that's also important!
