This is a great idea to give dealers (and potential buyers) who think they are selling tractors at an awesome deal a reality check. I have read some posts from dealers who claim to sell them dirt cheap and when I compare their so-called "great deals" to what I paid in the great state of Texas, i think they are screwing people. I just checked the price for my tractor model and it said the average price was $18,066. I bought a brand new tractor last year and bought a package deal from a great dealer in TX and paid $19k. However, my package consisted of an 18' tandem axle trailer, the tractor with loader, shredder, and box blade. When the dealer gave me a break down on the prices, the tractor itself was only $13k. So according to this tractor price website, the national (or global) average is about $5k more than I paid. FYI, my tractor was purchased new in April, 2008.
