I do not know the sales tax situation in Washington State, but here in Florida equipment for agricultural or forestry use is sales tax free. I bought my Kubota B3300SU tractor/loader to maintain and improve 40 acres of common ground in our residential development. This included ongoing removal of brush, dead trees and creation of fire breaks and fire access rough roads. Unquestionably qualified tractor for Florida sales tax exemption.
Check on possible tax exemption in Washington State. I did not find out about sales tax exemption until price negotiation time when the Kubota distributor volunteered the qualifications for consideration.

Thanks for the tip; couldn't find anything with a little bit of online searching, but I will ask the dealer and continue researching. Washington is pretty strict on sales and use taxes, since we don't have an income tax, so unless something is going to be resold, either sales or use tax is generally due. Appreciate the advice!
