[QUOTE="Limoguy, post: 1687832, member: 14694"] Sounds like you are shopping for a new tractor... until it doesn't. That's the first decision to make. What's the annual utilization? What's the cost of downtime? (assuming a new machine will have limited downtime). Is a rental unit available if your down? How long are you going to keep it? If you keep it for 20 years then trade in value is not a consideration but parts availibility moves to the top. By the way.... a 15% premium price for the best tractor and dealer is a bargain and that unit will carry the best trade in value, if that is important. Right now new equipment has great interest rates, warranty and tax advantages to consider. If utilization is low and downtime is not an issue (as far as inconvenience) then used equipment the way to go. Good luck in your search. [/QUOTE]
