No tractor today!

Brown Swiss · Mar 31, 2016

Had some parts ordered for my baler and seen on tractor house the dealer had a tractor that was looking for in also, so got done with chores and hurried to the dealer just to hear him say it just sold a day ago, only had it on the lot 2 days. Well that is how it goes. Was a 3545 MF with MFWD and a quick attach loader.

Hi Round here at the moment it's hard to find an older used tractor thats any good for proper farm work at decent prices. If you are looking you'd better get your name in the hat about 8 days before it comes on the market L.O.L. Guys seem to be hanging on to the lesser end of the computer and pre DEF type emissions junk tractors that are any good. Or paying premiums for good ones if they come up for sale without the heavy electronics and emissions junk.

The "dumb" farmers getting smart to the unreliability, expensive repair/ parts bills when the warranties up on this modern stuff that the manufacturers and the EPA guys are trying to force us to buy now. A local heavy truck dealer had 50 trucks in the yard with grain boxes on or waiting for conversion . in less than 2 weeks he sold the 30 that didn't need DEF and the others sat there !.

Seems like many times the good ones will be sold before they even hit the dealer lot. Some of the salesman will actually do their job and keep a list of those who tell them to keep an eye out for ? whatever.
