The man's reserve was set even lower than that, so he had decided on what he wanted as a minimum. But this is often the case when someone sells a brand new tractor so soon.
Usually, newer models are very close to an almost used price making the new one the better deal. Not in this case! Saving about $10K was a great buy.
