Pulled the trigger on a 3032e

mrtfelton · Jul 20, 2009

Pulled the trigger on a 3032e. With my 2305 as trade, $20,300 is the total cost. I owed $10,200 on the 2305 after 1 1/2 years of use. I'm taking a hit but now I don't have to worry about that darn trans fan on the drive shaft breaking.

Is there a good place to get a tooth bar?

Congrats on the new tractor. Some people recommend Markham for toothbars. Send pictures.

Congrats on pulling the trigger. I looked at that tractor long and hard before buying a little larger 4320. I hope you're as pleased with it as I am mine. Good luck.

Congrats on the tractor. When I purchased my 3320 I order the 5' JD toothbar and I've been pleased with it. It's definitely a heavy duty piece, and it has replaceable teeth too.

Has anyone used a tractor for business expense as a tax deduction?

WH401 · Jul 21, 2009

You mean like in conjunction with a Lawn Service you might own, or some kind of store where it would coincide? I never have, but I don't see why you couldn't. That'd be like having your cake and eating it too.

I used to have a small biz. The biz bought a small tractor and mower and loader and sno blower to maintain the sidwalks, grass and blow snow....had a trailer to haul it too. (Quite a few other toys too.) No big deal....but you will want a ligit biz need if your audited. Of course, I would use the tractor for a few personal needs at times.

I used to make gun accessories and tools.....and needed lots of guns to make things fit properly. Assembled quite a library of firearms over time.

DEDUCTABLE!!!!! Of course, I paid a high tax bill too.....so.....not too much argument from the IRS....they want you to succeed....and pay the dayum taxes.

I thought the pallet fork attachment would help pick up heavy object's I encounter a lot in my business. Also help maintain my driveway for UPS shipments. But the tractor would be used around the house some.
