WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER TRADE IN YOUR TRACTOR 🚜

I get a TON of emails inquiring if the price someone has been quoted on a trade-in is a fair price. It's a tough question to answer. I'll tell you why, and why I generally advise against a trade-in.

My 2025r has been a workhorse for years! It has moved TONS of rocks, 100s of yards of mulch, loam, gravel and stone. I love my little tractor.
I know, like a faithful dog, there will come a time when i will have to say goodbye😢, even if the trade-in isnt that much, i know the initial money spent has been earned back and whatever it gets, it will be a nice parting gift after all its done for me!
I will always fondly remember my 2025r as me and my new 3033r with fully equipped factory cab, loader and backhoe ride off into new adventures...

A guy can dream, cant he??😊

Couple of things about tractors. Have dealt with them for decades. We run Deere exclusively. The reason is simple. Support and resale. We have always gotten exceptional resale out of them. Sometimes selling them for more than we paid when we bought it. Keep it serviced and service it right before you sell. It helps. Also, we have a poultry operation. We have to cut the ROPS off our tractors to fit in the hosues. Remember to cut them off in a way that you can reattach in a way that looks clean and is just a strong as new. Hope this helps.

I buy all my equipment in Deleware. No sales tax 👍 Dealers seem to offer better prices too. It’s pretty rural and a lot of farming.

“Ya, I’m going to need you to work this weekend and put all those zeros into a TPS report to verify the accuracy of just how many TrakTAz you say you’ve appraised.” :) Great video, well done, thank you!

There is a little free equipment trader magazine and man there is some great deals in there ! One thing about living in the Midwest there is some excellent deals 😁 pretty cool

I just bougt a 2022 1025r with a loader 60 inch deck and a front mounting snowblower.
Less then 10 hours on tge tractor and most of that was mowing grass.
I was shocked wjen i looked up the price of a new front mount snowblower. Over 6000$ Canadian .that sure adds s lot of value to the tractor

We had success trading our Mahindra, however the dealer still had it listed for sale 6 or so months later

Day 4362 without versaforks. The sun is hot, the air filled with humidity and the day is long. I had to move a pallet today with my bare hands. I know now the misery the savages that came before us suffered on a daily basis. Those poor souls, may they rest in peace. To add insult to injury as I was searching the wilds for food I came across a coupon code for Courtney's labor day sale. Like a castaway on a barron island finding a cell phone with no battery. That initial hope followed immediately with earth shattering defeat. May god have mercy on us all...

Hey, will you be the first to use and review the BXpanded Piranha Pro reversible tooth bar? I'm curious about the reversible aspect.

Courtney, i fixed my r-14 tire that kept popping off its rim with that tire seal you recommend, i think the tire shop damaged the rim when removing the tires, i remember they said they had a hard time. but the sealant is working and its not popping off the rim anymore!

[gregs]

Good morning Courtney, did I hear you say tractors are coming back??

[MrDaniel]

John deere told me they would not take a kubota or cub cadet in on trade in

[Julian-dobv]

I was thinking about selling mine a bit back and after looking on tractor house looks like I was going to way under sale it from what ive seen on there

Strange to see LS and Mahindra on that list. Most LS models are New Hollands with different decals. They were founded in 1977 and have built NH tractors for three decades. Mahindra is the largest tractor manufacturer in the World by volume. JD may be the largest based on revenue, but that's because they overcharge for everything. Mahindra beats them by number of machines in the field and they aren't exactly easy on their equipment in India.

I think you left out one thing on considering trading in your tractor to a dealer for a new one. In Indiana the sales tax on purchases is 7%. (Some states higher some lower) If I trade in my tractor to the dealer, I only pay the sales tax on the price difference of.the new unit less my trade-in value. So, if I’m allowed a trade in price for my tractor of $15, 000 that’s $1, 050 I’m NOT paying in sales tax. Something to think about or consider.

[Morpheen]

Depends on how heavily your taxed where you live, Where I am in Canada
Any extra money I would've made on selling the tractor privately, I would've paid back in taxes on the New tractor..
Minus the trade in value = a considerably lower purchase price = a lot less tax to be paid

Sometimes, off brand tractors are purchased strictly for price and delivered miles away! Trading in a tractor for which there is zero service or parts available locally can make them much less valuable to a dealer because of difficulties of next owner buying for those same reasons! The closest Massey dealer to me is over 130 miles away! I have 2 Kubota dealers and 1 Deere dealer within 25 miles. Never seen a Kioti, LS or bad boy tractor or dealer in my lifetime (66 years)! Why would I ever buy anything other than Deere or Kubota?
