All These people buying tractors, have you thought about group buying?

[KiwiBro]

Or would geography and brand/dealer preferences put this idea in the too hard basket?

It just strikes me that if there was a dealer nearby half a dozen buyers, some after brand A, others brand B, and the dealer stocked those brands, I wonder what sort of discount or better package deals, etc could be had.

You may say, I'm a dreamer. But am I the only one?

From the thread title, I thought you meant buying a group of tractors in one purchase.
That sounded a bit spendy, at least for me.
Then I realized that you mean a tractorshare.
I wondered, would I get a free vacation in Orlando if I went to the annoying sales seminar?
But then I thought how happy I'd be, listening to Little Feet down on the collective farm in our love tractor!

I thought he meant say 6 people order 6 tractors from one dealer as a one package deal. Like what city government does when they buy a fleet of cop cars or fleet of trucks for city services.

Ya-know, I think you're right.

Would a discount only apply if all the tractors were the same model. I would think that would be the hard part. Finding six or eight people wanting exactly the same tractor.

for it to work, they all need sold in the same transaction. So they would all need to be cash purchases.

not a bad idea, but you'd be disappointed to see the size of the discount.
