Back in July, the closest dealer was offering about 17% off his 4110.
Now, another local dealer is offering 20% off his 4110.
It looks like a good time to buy an "old" model tractor. Or is it?
Like I said earlier, the new 2520 is a LOT cheaper than the 4115 it's replacing.
Even at 20% off, a 4115 is still the SAME price as a 2520 with only 9% off.
Which one would you pick? Which one will be worth more a few years from now?
Makes me wonder how JD expects it's dealers to sell the old models?
I gotta say, I'm a little suspicious about how cheap these new tractors are?
Standardizing accessories, and eliminating a few models only explains some of the price difference,
not all of it. Something else is bringing the costs down?
Not steel costs during manufacturing, and not fuel costs during shipment.
That leaves; labor, or quality, or both?
On paper, the new 2X20's seem to be loaded with improvements,
but so did the "new" 1964 Winchesters, and so did the "new" Ford Mustang-II ?
