Had you rather have the salesman come out to assist while you are looking or go inside to get one when you have had a chance to look around a while? Ken Sweet
What is your preference when shopping at a dealership?

Well I don't usually go to the dealership to shop for tractors but I do like to look over the new shiny equipment so I prefer to be left alone.

I like to know and research the tractors on the lot I’m going to, so far I knew more about the JD, NH and mahindra’s than the salesmen knew lmao, the kubota Guy was a wash, he had clearly been in the game longer than I have been on the planet.
So when you know more than the guy who approaches, they tend to give you space.
I ask very detailed questions for comparison, like where the equipment was manufactured and assembled at, who made the rubber on the rims etc etc, most salesman don’t know that kind of stuff.

Same here.
Also, if I'm ready to buy or close, chances are I've already made contact with the dealer by internet or phone to get availability and prices on models I think I'm interested in.

Answering email would be a start! The dealers here aren't that good at it.
Even if I'm just browsing I'm fine with someone coming out to ask if I need anything. I can tell them I'm looking around and will come get someone when I have questions. OTOH when I've gone to dealers and wanted to talk to a sales person and can't find one it can be frustrating.

Left alone to look through the lot. When I have a question, I will seek someone out. I find that the answer usually has to be "looked up" somewhere.
