Are they worth the high dollar value that they seem to command, when you look at prices, you wonder if your not better off buying used.
In fact, some owners who look at selling their equipment often think so much of it that they ask more for it than you could buy a new one for.
When you see that kind of thing going on, you have to say wait, just a second, why are they trying to get more for a used tractor than a new one.

Either way, when you begin to compare the cost you should really make sure that the tractor has not been abused.
Take for instance a so called, “deal” we found not too long ago, we looked at the tractor and noticed that the front tires were chewed up.
The first thing you might think about is how much are new tires, but that would not be the best thing to do.
What you need to do is to examine the front end, to see if there was any damage done.
Look at the bearings, if the front tires are chewed up it is usually a result of someone trying to dig too hard with the front.
So, which the price tag for the tractor might look good, but what if you had to replace, the drive units, the bearings, the front end too, then the cost would go up quite a lot, and on top of that this was a dealer, so we asked them why the front tires were so mutilated, and they said, oh its nothing to worry about.
We walked away from this dealer, because they were not honest, and that is perhaps one of the most important things you can decide when your looking for equipment, if a dealer is not honest how can you trust them at all?
Make sure your dealing with an honest dealer or you might end up paying a lot more than you ever though possible.
