I can't speak to tractors, but I can speak to other large agricultural equipment. My company began producing equipment last summer with intent to deliver to our dealers no later than this spring. This equipment (most of it made in 2009) is classified as 2010 model year. If a piece of equipment sits on a dealer's lot for 5 years before it is sold, it is STILL considered a 2010 model year product and will be sold that way (usually at a large discount). Incidentally, our serial tags list the model year separately.
