Oh it has been cussed and discussed to the nth degree. Orders still have to come through the local JD dealer who then places the order. When busy and the partsman just inserts the order with out checking and the customer orders a engine assy instead of a windshield wiper blade because of a transposed number or a misprint on the CD (it does happen) then the cost is placed back on the customer to return the mistake. The good thing is the coustomer can print out what he is working on. He knows what the costs are (dealers add freight and handling to the published prices) so there are many pluses. Gleaner takes the approach that they give every one who purchased a Gleaner a big old parts book thay can take to the field, sans power cord, open up the cell phone and order from the field. for right now that is the way it is. If you want this contact your dealer and have him call the dealer panel. They are not all for this feature nor are all Deere dealers although they have to play the company line. Checks and balances of a warm body , if he knows his stuff, gives better service most of the time. Online items will increase from AGCO as the months go by. lots of new capacity as the new web site gets the kinks out and revved up. Stay tuned.
