New Deutz Tractor

[Sawyer Rob]

My guess is, that tractor was demoed, I know I've demoed "new" tractors before, and someone had to buy them "new" after.

I think the new tractor I bought last fall had less than one hour on the clock when I brought it home.

I don't remember how many hours were on mine. Not many. If it has been on the lot, it will get hours from 'test drives', repositioning, in addition to any movement for final inspection, add-ons, and loading it to ship. I wouldn't worry about a few hours. I'd probably worry more if it was really low. Did they even test it out before they got it to me?

Bigger issue being the silence. That doesn't speak well of the dealer.

I have noticed an uptick in dealers carrying the D-F tractors. So far, they have just been an additional brand, not new dealers. If you like the tractor, there are likely other options for dealers.

My LS had 10 hours on when delivered but my dealer told me that ahead of time so it didn’t bother me at all, it still looked brand new, he picked it up from a dealer in Iowa . 500 hours later I’m still very happy with my dealer and the tractor.
But it is very easy to understand why the original poster in this thread might decide to change his mind about buying from the dealer he has been dealing with.

I would LOVE to find a D-F dealer near me in New England.
The last time I needed parts to repair a broken front axle on the Hurliman Prince, I went through an outfit in Georgia. (They were great,,,, at first! ;-)

Well, I told the dealer not to deliver the tractor. I’m not interested in the tractor anymore want a refund.
Was told that the warranty and tractor was already assigned to me and that they have never had anyone back out of a deal.
Guess I’ll be a first then. Cant imagine it’s any harder than going in the computer and unassigning the tractor through the dealer portal. I never signed anything for a warranty and the tractor has never been in my possession. This was the absolute worst large purchase experience I’ve ever had. From the salesman to the managers. Hopefully I get my money back sooner than later. They sure were quick to take it.

I don’t blame you a bit, pretty sure I’d of done the same, having a good dealer you’re comfortable with means a lot.
If you don’t mind me asking what was the ballpark price on that 4065?

That's got to be a disappointment but it sounds like the dealer was jerking you around. I can be pretty patient but once somebody has my money I want something in return.

Agreed. I'm also a one and done guy. I do don't tend to go back for 2nd chances if I've been messed around by a business.

In fairness, I gave my current dealer a 2nd chance as the problem was 100% his former salesman. So far so good. (New owner?/manager)

Tractor house.com has a range of prices.

I’ll never go back. I’ll never recommend them either.
