My search did not take near as long as I thought it would. Started calling around about new one's back in December but all the dealers had same story, we can put you on a waiting list. Then I started looking at used one's..... wow, I was amazed at what prices the used one's were going for. Kept searching FB Marketplace each morning when I was enjoying my first cup of coffee. Two weeks ago yesterday, there was post for a new 2021, white 1000-5 deluxe. That is the color and model I really wanted. I was a bit apprehensive since the post was on FB but I called the number. Sales guy answered right away. Told him I was interested in the white 1000-5 and he walked out to see if it was still available and it was. Told him to work out a drive out cost with adding windshield, roof and front/rear bumpers. Took him about 20 minutes to call me back with price. I gave him my CC info for a deposit. Took a few days for the accessories to arrive. Drove over yesterday morning, took all of 15 min to do paperwork, gave them a check and we loaded up and came home. This dealer was just 100 miles from my house. Now the fun begins !
First thing I did this morning was remove all the netting (I felt like I was in a fish net when sitting in it !). Next, I had some mirrors I had bought for my old Cub Cadet and never installed. They fit perfectly. Looks like I'll have to adjust the turf mode/2WD cables as it won't go in to turf mode, but that looks to be an easy adjustment and will do that tomorrow.
