Also, as someone said, look around for used. I was looking at new a few yrs ago and poked around the internet, just for something to do. Learn about the machines, pricing, etc. There really are too many choices, confused the crap out of me at times.
At the dealers sites i would skim the used listings. I came across the tractor I have now. A 2009 NH75DA, with FEL,Cab, BH-90x w/hyd thumb. Loaded tires, chains. 300 hundred hours, still a good base left on the warranty. A gentleman had bought it a yr earlier, and got into financial difficulty. Bought it from the same dealership that had it listed for him, a consignment now. He had paid over $50,000.00 I picked it up for $32,000. All i asked was that the dealer give me papers that the tractor was clear of liens, and they would honor the rest of the warranty. But, i have a good line of credit and could put the money out quick. I called first, in within hours there were two guys behind me waiting to buy. One had cash and wanted it. No time to chance it.
