Buying a new machine is so much more time consuming than a second hand one, moneywise

Just spent two weeks on the computer and three days driving around, to buy my mid range tractor new, budget was 30K TO 35K

Even a lot of the big price named tractors have full imports coming in from China with there names on them, best to go and look at them all check out the finished product, read all the specks and find a good reputable dealer that you trust , as you will be dealing with them for years to come, some dealers that seemed so nice try to rip you of thousands by itemizing everything and not telling you about the special deals they have on. So do your home work, check forums, mags, internet for machines around the hp your after, then go and check them out if the finish around the outside is bad , "what is the inside like" I saw cracks in welds, paint work that was so thin on one brand you could see straight though it, all on new machines.

That model is something I don't know of in the US, but I am new to this tractor thing. This is a world economy anymore and you will have parts on anything that is made in china...it is going to be hard to get around that.

With robots doing the majority of the welding and painting, I think that is going to be just the world we live in now, just make sure you have a good machine with good support from a local dealer and above all else a good warranty.

i think when i bought my tractor and traded it 2.5yrs later both deals took me less than 5 days to get done.waiting on the tractors tobe delivered is what took the longest.

I looked at a lot of different brands and sizes of tractors, that's all part of the experience. But once I made up my mind I did everything over the phone and on line and had my tractor in just a couple of days. I have yet to see the dealership where I bought it. My salesman delivered it and we signed all the paperwork at my house. Quite easy actually, too easy maybe.

The buying new experience is definately easy. My deal was done in 6 days from first look to delivery. The wife liked the idea of a 5 yr. warranty.
