OK, Tractor Nuts:
It's been a busy week, made some time to get outside and sit my backside on some tractors.
Heres what I'm finding
Landtrac 300 w/loader
nice but not as refined as I was wanting it to be and the dealer is asking $19,480.00 for it. Told him I see them on the web all the time for $13,800.00 without loader to $15,000.00 with loader. this is the point where he coped an attatude and wanted to see proof so I E-mailed him the links, about 5 of them and got quite the nasty E-mail in return from him. (opps time to move on)
John Deere 790 w/419 loader
Nice, fit me well (I'm not a big guy) simple to operate felt good on it and being I've got a Yanmar that has run for me without any problems in the last 10 years I'm somewhat parshal to them. Asking price was $15,900.00 with ind. tires
New Holland
Just got back, "WOW" went to climb on the TC30 but only got to drive the TC33 Boomer and it didn't have the loader on it asking price for it w/loader was $17,350.00 out of reach for me, but was a joy to ride around on. Anywho back to the subject at hand. The TC30 up close was nice not to much just the kind of tractor I'm looking for but them again so is the JD790 asking price on the TC30 was $15,950.00 w/ ind. tires.
Here's what I'm getting at all tractors I'm looking at are geared with loader and what I'm going to do is mow 5 acres and move some horse manure around and maybe some dirt too. I've seen the the differance on the JD & NH in loader lift capacity & 3 point lift capacity, range slection 3 vers 2, shift lever on the collor or between the legs, wet disk & dry shoe bla, bla, bla. When I do a search of this site I come across folks paying close to a grand less for the same two tractors that I'm looking at that is alot of haggling room is the asking price a little higher because I live in Florida and it cost more to transport on the back of a truck than most of your dealers or do I expect to haggle close to a grand out of the price?
PS: you show up to look at tractors with digi camera in hand and the dealers look at you kind of funny /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gifbut how else am I spose to keep this all straight in my head without something to look at when I get back home /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
any words of wisdom will be herd
Thanks
