When Buying a New Tractor

[MAHINDRA OF OHIO]

When buying a new tractor what are the things most important to you in making your buying decision? Thanks James

Dealership first, best product for my operation second, price third, parts fourth.

It is as simple as that.

Reliability and price for me.

In the order I used

Price, financing, brand, dealer

Not having bought a"new" tractor, but:

1. ergonomics
2. durability (toughness)
3. reliability
4. dealer / warranty
5. maintenance ease


I have a Kubota L4310 HST bought slightly used (240 hrs.)

I am surprised you guys rate the dealer so low on your list.

I'll agree with the others but for me comfort/ergonomics was in the top two. Being that I'm only 5'5" with a long torso short legs finding the right tractor was important. If your gonna be on it for hours it better be a good fit.

Me too----maybe thats why people buy at the big box stores. but they need a dealer when there junk breaks

Dealer was high on my list when I bought my 2310. I wanted a dealer that has been there for a long time and looks to be there for a long time to come. I have ridden mine to my dealer since he is only 1 1/2 mi. down the road which is nice also.
