Nice joke. Crossed my mind as I typed it. 
I was told the free loader program has been extended. Local dealer has a ct2035hst in stock. Will do $24,900 cad ($21,000 usd) plus tax. Because I am moving across country (3000 miles) he can wave the provincial tax too. I'll pull the trigger on Monday, but I just want to see if a dealer where I am moving to can match, and save me the hassle of renting a u haul trailer when I move. I doubt the east coast (where I am moving will be able to match, but I'll wait and see, plus tax would be way more.... Unless they let me use my current address and avoid tax there too). Kioti was $2k higher and no free FEL, though they did have a $1500 rebate.

The 'free loader' deal is usually in the spring for Kioti. I took advantage of that in June, but that was on the dealers' floor stock. He had told me that the new stock coming in would be higher priced and no guarantees on the free loader deal. This was in 2012.

Why??
There's nothing tractor dealers love more than taking your down-payment money on something that isn't costing them a dime.... No Floor Plan interest, no insurance, no assembly, no -- Nothing. Just a wink and a promise. And your money sitting in their bank account. They LOVE taking orders. And the way to generate orders is to have sales incentives.
As to the Manufacturers, there's nothing they love more than having a predictable future. If they've got 10,000 tractors on order from dealers, they can gear up and run tht assembly line like crazy. Economies of Scale. It's a real thing.
If the OEM can run two shifts instead of one or even three shifts instead of two or if they can get a bunch of overtime workers showing up, they're making a killing.
The OEMs and the Dealers that are on-the-ball can, and will, seperate themselves from the rest of the pack this year. The rest will fall by the wayside. Maybe permanently. Probably permanently.
In fact, I would look for the ones offering sales incentives. They have a much brighter futures, IMO, than the ones sitting on their hands
