Buying tractor out of state (sales tax?)

Yea. I don't think people realize they are the ones liable for not paying the taxes. Its legal for us not to collect for out of state, farm exempt, etc -- but if they come looking you had better have your affairs in order.

I feel a little different about taxes I guess. I live in a safe place. The roads are good. I have electric power 99.99999% of the time. I have safe water and sewer. My kids got a good education and good jobs. I have always had enough to eat. I can travel 3000 miles and not get asked for ID . (airplanes and speeding tickets don't count) . I can buy any tractor I want. I have internet access and can read all this good stuff. There is a lot more but the message is I don't really mind paying taxes. I just hope they don't waste the money.

Might be just a little biased here as I am a dealer but two things come to mind for me. First off, no one has even mentioned the fact that you may want to think about where you are going to get the tractor serviced?? You may find this hard to believe but warranty work often costs a dealer money and they aren't always too happy about doing it on a tractor they made no profit on. I don't know how NH handles this and the dealer may not be able to refuse the work, but they can sure schedule it a month from now. You may want to think about starting a good relationship with the place that you are going to get service and parts from?

Also, you know that you are buying something that should have tax paid on it in your state. I don't like tax any more than the next guy, but I pay it. I don't always like what they do with my money, but I pay it.

I'm sure I miss sales because there are guys running across the state lines to buy and that's just part of life but I try to make it a point to only sell in my service area.

Just some things to think about.

montanaman,

I bought mine in PA Krepasky Equiptment nice people
My nearby dealer is 20 min from me(Chambers Tractor in Montgomery NY) --with I don't care att if you buy from me --I rather drive 1-hour away yes another state than deal with that -------.

That's my reason plus PA prices were thousands in diff.

AS for service the guys would either do a tech call or they will drive down fix /pick up what evers needed.

3 of my neighbors had the same situation and bought out of state.



I would do it again.
