In Reply to: Advice on selling a tractor posted by Sandel on November 05, 2020 at 18:14:43:

I was a used tractor dealer for years and advertised a bunch. My best advice is NOT Craiglist but Farm/Tractor and Farm/Tractor websites and classifieds and the local newspaper and INCLUDE GOOD PICTURES. To avoid all the nuisance and "how much" calls and inquiries I suggest you put as much info as possible including lots of pictures, complete description (good as well as bad) and price......... I used to enjoy the calls (before they even came to look) asking "whats the least you will take" To which I answered "Whats the most you will give" to which they replied "well I will have to come look first" WELL DUH. I didnt come down unless and until someone first made an offer, if they cant say what they will give why should I lower the price off the bat...They wanted to play the old game of NOT making an offer until I gave them a new reduced price AND ONLY THEN MAKE AN OFFER expecting to negotiate from there. NOTTTTTTTTTT

I posted this before if a guy was looking and hum hawing around if my wife came to the door and said someone called and wants to know if its still for sale THEY GUY EITHER BOUGHT IT OR LEFT....

ALWAYS have it cleaned up with a full charged battery SO IT WILL START FIRST TRY and have a good answer to "Why are you selling it" ?

I was NOT a good salesman, if they want it fine if they dont leave me alone lol In yearsssssssssss of experience and putting up with crap I became hardened that way and ended up selling more with that attitude

Just a few of the dozens I used then sold over the years

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea ... [Read Article]
