Yes on Bunton Rd.

Wow, that is close...I'm just east of Rawsonville. Small world/forum!

Sorry for the thread drift...back to the regularly scheduled Cabela's discussion :thumbsup:

I wonder what the resale value of a Cabelas tractor will be in 7 or 8 years....it's not all about a low acquisition price.

I wonder if they'll be selling tractors in 10 years. Not a dig against them (I like a bunch of their private label stuff), but I really wonder if this is going to work long(er) term.

Conversely, the prices on the Cub Cadet Yanmar's hasn't taken a beating, nor has the Bobcat Kioti used pricing since those distribution networks went south. As long as TYM remains in the US market, I think these machines will hold their resale. Will you be able to find a secondary market buyer who's willing to pay the premium for a green TYM, or will it be compared at the price their regular line sells for?

I don't worry too much about resale, I worry about whether I'm buying a good tractor or not!

You guys must trade tractors like car's or something? I still have the Kubota I bought NEW in 1986. I also have two other tractors I bought NEW in 1996 and 1998...

Personally, I like the looks of the Cabelas green paint better than the TYM red, but of course, that's a personal choice...

Never wanted to trade up Rob? What if you have to move and can't keep it? Resale value isn't just about flipping.

When buying NEW, i do my home work and buy right the first time!

I bought my Kubota when I lived in Alaska, when I moved to the lower 48, I brought it with me...

When I was a kid, I bought a Harley, I could afford to buy it, I could NOT afford to keep it! I NEVER let that happen to me again....EVER! AND it will never happen again!

I NEVER buy over my head, if I can't afford to buy/keep something, it doesn't come home with me, and that goes to EVERYTHING I buy.....INCLUDING the Harley sitting in my garage! lol

If you're considering a Cabelas tractor you probably should worry about whether you're buying a good tractor or not.
Buying a JD or Kubota, for example, you'll very likely get a good tractor AND good resale value. To each his own.

Cabelas sent me a nice offer today. Their LM35 with a hydro trans, FEL, and a mower (brush hog) for 19,999. You also receive a $500 gift card for the store.

Combining this with a zero interest rate could really get these selling.

I received that offer too. Looks like a good deal!
