Hi All,
Why are more Canadians not bring tractors from the US in to Canada? It seems to me that there is a large discrepancy in pricing between the two, and the duty (for a foreign origin tractor is negligible (Japan ~6.1%). For example a "Turf Special" B7510 is ~$10.3kUS=$13200CDN (with the 6.1% duty). This is an advertised price compared to the Canadian advertised price of $14500CDN+mower+freight..... a significant savings. Besides possible warranty issues, is there any other reason not to do this?
Thanks,
Rob
