Price Check Price matters

Hi I am recently in the market for a tractor, I have never owned or been around tractors so any advice would be helpful. So far I have only looked at a JD 32 hp 4wd hydrostatic, with fel for around 17,000, does this sound like a good price or should I shop around a little.
In my area we also have MF, NH, and Kubota dealers.
Does anybody knows of a good internet site that sells tractors for a good price, if so is that a good idea or should I stick to local dealers.
Thanks in advance for your opinions

SHOP,SHOP and then make your choice.I would be looking for a local dealer that would support my service & parts needs after the sale.I would also look at how long your local dealer has been in business,do they have a good reputation?Look long and hard,a tractor is a life time investment.coobie

Model is 3032e,
Land is flat and tends to be a little on the wet side.

OK, I just looked up the specs on the JD - now I understand the price point.
it's cute, and may well do what you want it to do, but I would go look at the Kioti ck30/ck35, Mahindra 3015/3215/3216, Kubota L2800, and/or NH1510 before shelling out the $$ for it.
OTOH, if you really liked it, it's not a bad price and JD usually holds its value well for when you decide to trade up.

I think flat and wet would be a good bet for S. Louisiana.

We could assume that.. but might be wrong... there are plenty of places in north part of the state that is dry... just about everything south of I-12 is suspect though!
