Ford X-plan

[Whiskey]

Can anyone tell me if New Holland still will allow the X-plan for friends and family when buying a tractor from them. Being I have a good friend that works in a Ford plant and I'm looking for a new tractor this could come in handy.

I don't believe Ford and New Holland are tied together anymore. They are total separate companies. Now if your friend works in a New Holland Plant them maybe something there. But not sure. I would write to New Holland and see. I am not sure even a dealer would know of this plan and if he did know of it he may not want to reveal it because of the paper work involved with it.

Just my two cents.

Ford does not acknowledge the so called A-plan, so don't have your friend ask at the Ford plant.

I bought my tractor through the "A-Plan" that is still offered by New Holland. The way my dealer explained it is that New Holland initially cancelled the plan when the Ford/New Holland relationship ended, but then realized it was a good sales incentive to Ford employees to buy NH products. The actual title and the sales papers are written up in the Ford employee's name, and I saved about $1400 having my father-in-law buy the tractor. I felt a little silly having a 78 y/o with Parkinson's shuffle with his cane into the dealership to sign for the tractor, but I was happy to get it, the dealer was happy to sell it, and my F-I-L was happy to help.

I also financed through New Holland, and the bill comes monthly to my address in my F-I-L's name, and I write the check and send it to New Holland. Now the mailings are coming for other NH products and newsletters.

Yes, I did the same through my father, a retired Ford employee. I agree, I think NH realized it was a good incentive so they've kept it going. Bottom line, check with your dealer, or a few dealers.
