When I decided to buy a tractor, I knew that I could not afford a new tractor. I saved $15k thinking I could buy a good tractor in the 40-50 HP range that was used. Looked for about a year. I saw more cracked tires, worn out clutches, and you know what I mean. One day my wife and I saw an ad for a used tractor in Harrison Ark. We went to look at it. It was the worse one we saw. They wanted $15k.
On the way back from that terrible looking tractor, I saw a Kubota sign. Told my wife, let's stop there and see if they had a used that looked ok. We did.
We pulled up in front of the office, turned off the car and we looked - but did not see anything like we wanted.
As we got out of the car, a gentleman came out and asked - What can I help you with. I told him what I was looking for. Was told, we don't do much used sales here. But I would be glad to show you around. We said OK.
We were looking at a new L4701 HST 4wd....pretty much everything I wanted.
So I told him - I really like this, but I am not interested - I know what this machine costs and I have only saved $15k. He said, I understand - But how would you feel if you gave me your $15k and you had a payment for 5 yr interest free including insurance. Your payment would be about $200.
I was surprised. Never thought of that. We told him - We can do that easily.
We did and after we bought it he told me he would have the rear tires filled, no charge. I said - when will you deliver it - the answer was today. It was about 40 miles to our property and the tractor was already unloaded when we got home.
I really got tired of looking at tractors that needed so much work and parts. The dealer I used was Springdale Tractors in Harrison ARK, the manager that helped me was Matt. They have always been there to answer my questions and help.
