Buying Advice do I need a title or bill of sale??

[timswi]

Checking with the manufacturers finace arm is a good idea. In PA they file a UCC1 if it is used for collateral...That one might not be easy to dig up.

Bill of sale is an outstanding idea.

There are no titles with this kind of vehicle.

I've used this form to buy several used tractors during the past 4 years:

BILL OF SALE

I,_______________________________________ (Seller), in the County of_________________, State of________, in consideration of ____________________________________________Dollars, ($__________), to be paid by _ (Buyer), the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, do hereby grant, sell, transfer and deliver unto_______________________ (Buyer) the following:

No problems so far.
Good luck with your tractor buying experience.

Nice format. Hope you don't mind that I just copied and saved it to modify for my own use.
