I just had a 8970 go back on lease return, could not afford to lease another one because NH Credit has lowered their residual on the Genesis which is not understood by manyIJIJIJIJ Anyway, what I'm getting to here is that the "new" tractor will be available this fall, my dealer told me he will be able to start ordering them this July. If it is just a blue "MX" with a few of the Genesis's traits, I think they are making a big mistake on this one. If "Buhler" can make a go in the USA "MFWD Tractor" along with bumping up the horsepower some, I'm thinking many NH guys will go with the Buhler tractor as I know if they where available in my area I would if the price was right. In my area at the moment, Dear John has the best price in town and I will let all know if an 8320 JD stands up to the 2 8970's NH I have had.
