makestickers.com " offers custom Bsticker but "kestickers.com" looks easier and you can put a tractor pic on the sticker if you want. Don't think there's min order.
That's the one I'm ordering from.
Good luck

I have been in sales for over thirty five years. An industry seems to have "their" form of advertising and it seems the vast majority of businesses within that industry use the same type of advertising as all the other businesses in that industry. I use the word industry here to mean all types of businesses. Some we can understand very quickly for gas stations and other business that are mainly for the auto traveler use bill boards along the road. The car industry use tv and some direct mail. The insurance industry use tv and direct mail. But if you pay attention to many local businesses they depend a lot on their signage and I think the longer they have been in business more and more on their reputation. The tractor industry really count on good looking dealership on heavy traffic road with good clean signage. I believe the use of tv shows how crowded that industry is compared to few years ago and difference in what I will call the professional buyer and homeowner or casual buyer. Something to me that makes a LOT of sense is a good looking decal with dealers name and info on the implement or machine itself.
The auto industry has been fun to watch to me for few years: the tailgate to me of a pickup is a great rolling signage. My 74 pickup had FORD in big letters stamped into it. The other brands did same. Then for what ever reasons as if ashamed of their pickups the large stamping went away and if memory is correct not anything other than a stick on told the brand on the tailgate. I find it good they are now using the tailgate to show the brand but nothing like they did forty years ago. When you get to the single location in an industry we get hit with all sorts of ideas from web sites, yellow pages, hats, pens and so forth. However nothing is better than word of mouth and great locations with good signage. BTW, hats does seem to be the most expected thing from equipment dealerships. Best item I use has been ink pens, a good one. Cheap ones to me gives poor impression.
One thing you may want to consider in you bumper sticker is the impression of what it is saying and to whom. The theft is always looking for easy pickings.

I have seen bumper stickers saying "My tractor cost more than your Beemer" and similar sayings.

Ha, now that you mention it I haven't seen a bumper sticker in decades. Maybe they quit making them because they pulled the paint off plastic body parts that used to be chromed.

Good point. For me it was mostly joke for my time in suburban boston area, where my hugely muddy truck (courtesy of vermont) sticks out like a sore thumb, and needs a tractor sticker. My way of saying to fancy folks "you can keep your beemer". In that case the tractor is in a whole 'nother state. But yeah, around southern vermont, probably not something to advertise. Though many of the people around here who have the means to steal a tractor from my location already have a tractor...

That is because you went about it wrong.
When walking into a Kubota Dealership, ALWAYS have a John Deere hat on. Some loud mouth salesman will always say something about it, so tell them, "Well at least they gave me a free hat, what do you got?"
It works every time.
I did that at a Farm Show and a competing lime dealer reached under the table and said, "Oh, we got them right here, we just don't display them."

I like the oval bumper stickers you see more of now and then. As far as tractor toys Insee Deere does a good job but Kubota toys are more pricey it seems.
