Quoted from CrazyLevi:It's $200 difference, and you live in South Dakota. Not exactly a hotbed of pin availability I would guess. If you are comfortable with 3100 don't see why you are terrified at 2900.
Regardless, that's fair market on a JD these days.
I'm with CrazyLevi on this one. I paid a little less for my JD but it's not as nice as the one you are looking at. I would totally pay $3100 for that machine.
