I know to different companies that have purchased Case CTL's and love them. One of their main decision makers was the dealer was in there same town, and they were happy with the performance. I haven't tried one personally but they seem to do well.

I have to say the only reason i have a 260 is the AQHA got us a great deal on it, something like 22% off. And I am a deere guy or at least i used to be, Challengers look better and better everyday. The local dealer, who has no interest in selling anything besides lawn mowers, wouldn't honor the deal. So we wound up using the acreage we have in another county to buy from the dealer in baldwin. The "Salesmen" proceeded to sneak onto my farm, at night no less, to get the S/N off the machine to file a complaint against Heritage. I drive to Baldwin to get parts when ever i have the time now.
Anyway, my complaints about Deere,
loud cab feel like i need ear plugs
high effort controls, couldn't see running all day
difficult ingress and i'm 5'10"
Specific to the 260
choice of hiflow or a/c
self-leveling on the way up only
door is stiff as hell.
I played around for few minutes with a CT a while ago at Heritage and it didn't seem like many of this problems have been fixed.
As a side note don't hot wire the kill switch in the door(bossman's idea), it will make your machine very angry. He pays the bills so he can break stuff if he wants too i guess. Now I have throughly moved this thread Off-Topic, but don't feel like starting my own deere bashing thread, it would be heresy.
