I asked at our local Kubota dealer about trading in an older Kubota for a new model. The sales guy really discouraged it since they couldn't give me its value, telling me to post it on Craig's list instead. In fact they had a lot full of new tractors, the only used tractors in sight were those waiting for shop work. The problem it seems is the 8% sate sales tax. The dealer, having to charge the tax, can't compete with private sales which in Washington don't pay the tax.
