cabelas is discontinuing tractor sales

[jenkinsph]

My prices were for basic tractors from each manufacturer with tractordata supplying the msrp. Very easy to verify.

Your problem is you can NEVER admit when you are wrong. You would make a good politician.

I was merely creating an example from posts I've seen where there was a kubota and jd each with backhoes and mmm being compared. My example was demonstrating a price variatoon in a category makes for percentage changes that can be much different in a different category.

What I do know is the 1st jd dealer gave me a price including fel and mmm and unit that was more than 14% different and that didn't include the deluxe seat.

Just thought I would quote you before you edited your post.

I'm baffled by your recent posts jenkinsph. I made an example that did not specify models, only an example of how percentages can be a different result than numbers. Then this You copied the post before I could change it comment . . What would I change? You were the one who declared the models . . Not me.

So lets ask the next question shall we? Other people were talking about a poster who said green paint is expensive. And another poster starts talking about so many Deere bashers.

Have you ever seen me bash Deere? If so . . where?

If you went back a couple years you'd find I stated I almost bought a used Deere lawn mower . . . but I elected not to because I don't buy Deere product primarily because everyone around me has Deere and I like the unique.

As to me admitting when I'm wrong I'm not sure where that comes from either.

Thought maybe you might look at this link jenkinsph. It shows jd 1025 units for sale from the chain I went to. You'll notice the price is for 2015 models that are the Display models that have hours on each. So they are not "new" . . They are demo units sold with new status and warranty. They all come with fel and mmm. Price on each with hours on each is $17,299 plus tax.

Note I was in error . . I said it wss over 14% higher . . and it was actually 20+% higher.


Remember . . These are their Demo clearance prices.

Bashing would be defined as non supported negative statements.

I really can't add much to this

I'm not terribly surprised the Cabelas-TYM deal didn't work out, but I am disappointed no tractors ever showed up at my local Cabelas store. I would've liked to have checked the tractors out!

There were lots of locations that were not designated as Land Management stores. Initially in the whole chain there were only 5 . . and then another group and another. A Land Management store haf seversl things in common:

1. Offered boats, motors, and atvs for sale at their store.
2. Had authorized Cabelas local service center for items in # 1 above.
3. Had the space to properly store and display tractors.
4. Store had accredited sales and service personnel on site or locally available.

Man, I am totally in accord with Axlehub... While I too am well educated, I worked over 40 years in something I never studied in school, but rather learned on the job. I have always desired to be able to build, and fix, things myself, although I could afford to buy whatever I needed, or pay someone to fix it. Now that I am over 70, some of the desire to fix things is diminished, but I hope to always to be able to do regular service work on my machines, or repair whatever needs repairing. Not re-roof a house, mind you, but that's not what we're talking about. Our country's middle class was based on skilled workers, not people pushing paper or keyboarding their income, and we seem to have lost the concept of providing training to young people in skilled trades. I for one think there should be value attached to good work, but just putting part A on part B or junking something that stops working as intended seems to have become the norm.

Liked Axlehub's quote also. I wanted to be farmer but there was no money available to get started so I went to school and got a degree and got a good job that allowed me to play around with some livestock on a small rural property. I guess I'm not shocked any more, after 36 yrs. in an office environment, at people I work with that can't do any more than mow their lawn (and some hire that done!), and have no clue how to fix anything inside or outside of the house. I grew up on a small part time farm and we did all our own work, we never hired anyone to do anything for us, I'm often reluctant to do that now. Like varmint I wouldn't do a roof, but I did once.

I got married just over a year ago. I'm pushing 50. Not my first marriage. My wife was married to a military officer who's career and personality was not lent toward getting his hands dirty. Not a dig at officers or, him really. But she was so used to hiring things out to people that she is just beginning to get used to me fixing things. Wall oven needed to be installed so I did it. Working on cars, minor carpentry, taking on farming tasks, welding repairs ( I am not a great welder). Painting. Simply seeing something that needs doing and doing it. I make my kids do things. Turn wrenches on cars, teach them the basics like how to use a screwdriver properly, Drive a nail. Dig post holes, put in a fence helplessness makes me crazy. The words "I can't " make me livid. I don't mind them failing. But it had better not be because they did not try.
