The act of buying a tractor is very personal......

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( just an FYI. I can tell you as a dealer that if you fax a writen quote and ask for everything to be itemized your probably going to get higher estimates than if you just call over the phone and ask for a package price. You can ask for the model numbers of each kit if you want to make it apples to apples. )</font>

Another question, is the offer to pay cash versus finance the deal helpful?

Bob, don't do what I did. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I did a lot of research and had my tractor figured at somewhere between $22k - $23k. I went into my dealer and told him what I wanted and the price range I thought would be acceptable. He sat there figuring for awhile and then quoted me $21,900. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif What could I do? He had just beat the low price in my range. There was no way I could negotiate any more. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif I just shrugged my shoulders and asked where he wanted me to sign. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
