Page loading extremely slow. Please help

Can someone tell me why this page is loading so slowly. It is the only page on my entire site (40K + pages) that acts this way.

http://www.madisontractor.com/tractor-parts-1/

I have used Page Speed addon with FireFox and it just says its waiting.

I am using 1.38a.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does that category have a significantly different number of "child" categories under it, compared to your other categories that seem to operate somewhat faster (although each varies, presumably because of the number of child categories)?

You appear nested too deep as it takrs too many clicks to get to something to buy
Normally a huge turnoff for shoppers...

Re: Page loading extremely slow. Please help

It probably is the number of child categories. Perhaps I will get rid of the "tractor parts" category and move all the child categories up to the top level. Thanks for the quick responses.
