Deere-est Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 There is a few to the west of me - Somerset. There is a good dealer there in the name of Vaughan Agri. Don't see many nearer home though. That dealer is 15 miles away, nearer hom we have MF, JD and NH dealers in the same town so thats the main colours really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
