ever dealt with Chappell Tractor Sales in Milford, New Hampshire? If so are they decent to deal with? Any input would be welcome.

I deal with them quite a bit.  I am assuming you are looking at equipment?  I have not bought any equipment from them.  I have a job site in the next town and buy all my "stuff" from them.  I am on a mud lot now, an hour away and still make the trip just because of the customer service.  I believe that goes a long ways.  In my opinion they are great to deal with.  Helpful and knowledgeable.  They have a sister store that is a hell of a lot closer and I still travel to milford.  Hope this helps

We deal with the Brentwood location on a lot of our farm parts.  Matt in the parts dept. is both knowledgeable and good to deal with.  The Brentwood store is much smaller than Milford but it's a stones throw away for us.  I do know that the Milford store has B&B chain with plenty of loggin' supplys.

Got my 450 B home and it runs fine. Motor and drive line seem real good which is a big plus. They told me the cutting edge needed replacing which is true, it does. But!! the lose blade and take a shim out to tighten it up is a $2,000 blade rebuild. The good side...it will last me the rest of my life. Would I buy from them again? Yes, I probably would. If it would have been a perfect machine it would have been a lot more money.
