2k5 Model Year

[skippy]

Does anyone know when the 2005 model year tractors start to arrive at the dealers or are made available or the specs released??? Just curious if the 2004 models will be reduced when this occurs like they are in automobiles.

Thanks

Skppy, with 6 months to go in 2004 and NH just having released major changes for this model year, I think you would be hard-pressed to find anything different about a 2005 model. Tractors are just not like cars. On tractors, several year's models will be identical with only the most minor of changes. I don't think you will save as much by buying a 2004 late in the year as you might by buying before steel prices go up even more. Right now, the interest rate and prices of tractors to dealers is very good. If you wait, it's a "roll of the dice" as to whether you'll pay more or less.

That said, if you want a 2005 model, you might wait until January 2005 and then order a new tractor. That way you'll know it's made in 2005. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

October 1st 2004 is when the tractors will start being billed out as 2005 models. This is for any tractor comming from the factory after 10/1/05 anything a dealers lot as of that date would still be a 2004.
