    Lucas, your channel is my go to for BX videos these days. No other channel covers what YOU do, and much thanks for all the time you devote to this channel of yours, to help others. And that dealership, wow, i wish every person could be THAT lucky to have a such a GREAT dealership like you have. My dealer is ok, but it could be better. Thanks for the video brother. Can`t wait to see the transmission video, and the R14 tire comparison video. I`ve been thinking real hard about getting the R14`s, your video may tip me over if they work as good as some say.

    I know it's up to you to read the manual, it's ashame they didn't go over some of the basic fundamentals when they delivered it to you. Especially if you're were a first time tractor owner. Good luck, glad they covered it for you, that's rare. $20, I hear you can't even get a can of spray paint for that price! Thanks for sharing

    Oh I definitely don’t blame anyone. I understood pretty well how the system works and I was always pushing the limits. I don’t believe I abused it, so I think warranty was fair, but I also think I need to dial it back a bit from now on. Thanks for watching!

    Dealer support for your machines is a valuable thing to have and with them being local that is a plus. Some guys have to make a two hr trip (one way) to get parts. We used to go up there when they were a New Holland dealer , now it is a trip to Jackson Oh and Fedex for parts !

Looked like their dealers were rental companies to feed stores , I saw or read some where a car dealer was selling them. Just how good of serving will you get ,, like you did with your tractor ,,, have the been trained in the repair of these machines ? The dealer puts a lot of money into their mechanics yearly to be up to date. I know Case Eqpt. has training all of the time that dealers has to send their guys to. Yes Davis is a good company , No complaints here !

    The diff lock is a poor design that Mobutu should have fixed long ago. We owners should file a lawsuit for relief.
