Hello sidewinder54
Have you asked your dealer for his best price with out the trade? If you do not need financing you may also find there is a rebate. Good luck with your purchase. Buying local will become a lot more important when you have your first problem. I do not care what color your tractor is, it is mechanical and it is built by people and it will break down. You should determine how much fixing it yourself, trucking it back to the dealer or waiting at the end of the line at a dealer you did not buy it from is worth. Once you have considered that go for what ever makes sense for you.
Good Luck and Happy Tractoring.
