Had a 4410 about to be delivered from a dealer in Harrisonburg, Va. Asked about the new special offer and they stated that they had already used up "previous offers" to come up with the price. They refused to acknowledge the new offers. I had a couple of other issues about the preparation of the tractor for delivery that they were not willing to correct and they offered to return the deposit. I told them to stick the tractor in an appropriate place.

Grianan,
<font color=green>Asked about the new special offer and they stated that they had already used up "previous offers" to come up with the price.</font color=green>
I don't believe there were any 'previous' offers, except the new financing rates that JD made available about a month ago. This current offer was offered by big JD and dealers, no matter how they split the pot with big JD, should have enough integrity to acknowledge the offer and work with the buyer to offer an additional discount of some type.
You made a good move here. There are plenty other dealers around that have integrity. Find one that will give you that discount and who's willing to ensure that cut for the 3rd SCV lever is properly made. Good luck to you.

As a John Deere dealer, let me give you my take on this. The rebate $$ should all be yours, because that money is deducted from the amount the dealer pays John Deere for the equipment. Any dealer that tells you any different isn't being straight with you. There is NO investment by the dealer on these rebates.

Thanks for that reply. It's nice to see an honest dealer. Do dealers really have to pay for some of these programs like that or is that just something they say? What about the special financing? Does that cost the dealers?
Deerenebraska,
My dealer told me that the $700 for the 4X10 series was broken out as an outright $500, plus an extra $200 if he held an open house. Since he wasn't going to hold an open house I couldn't get the extra $200. I had also negotiated my best deal before the rebate was announced. Since the link to the disclaimers on the Deere.com site has not worked any time I have tried it, I could not debate what he told me. Seems like Deere.com should be able to stay up.

I know this is not New Holland but us dealers do not have to participate in the programs. The cost is all covered by the manufacturer.
I just found a $1,200 introductory offer on the JD website for the 4x10 series tractors. $700 off the tractor and $500 off 2 implements. I called JD directly and they said this price was off the dealers everyday price not the retail price. I called the dealer who was not aware of the offer. He looked into it and said it was valid. I'm going in on Monday to buy my deere. I'll let you know if the deal goes through (fingers crossed).
Here is the exact wording from www.johndeere.com website
