A question for you dealers out there…..

I am thinking about starting up a small business selling used (or is that “previously employed”) small tractors in the 15 to 30 horse range. Do these Yanmars (and other Japanese imports for that matter) sell like hotcakes, or will I be sitting on a yard full of tractors for months on end? I have this really bad habit of needing to eat a couple of times a day

The ones that I have seen look to be very well built and at least the equal to any domestic tractor of the same size.

The semi-rural area I live in has a Deere, NH and MF dealer all with in a 20 mile radius. There are a lot of people who have 3 to 25 acre homesites, and more than a few small ranches and horse farms.

Re: A question for you dealers out there…..

Do you want to eat, sleep and breath tractors for the next 20 years? I personally cant sell something I am not passionate about. Do you want to put in the time to be a real dealer or do you just want to make some extra money. The product in any business is the smallest part of your success or failure. If you are a good businessman you wont have a tractor on the lot if your not...... Sorry this sounds harsh I don’t mean for it to be. My new goal is to sometime next year see what my family looks like in the daylight are you ready for that?
