Re: What\'s the best time of year to buy a new tractor?
I think you are getting good advice here. From what I 've seen, prices are pretty steady.. but have noticed sometimes at winter, when the pickins' are slimmer... deals happen a bit more. Also, if a unit has been sitting all year, it may have preferential treatment to move it.
It is easier to find seasonal deals on lawn equipment.. I bought my Murry lawnmower a hundred bucks cheaper than they were in the summer by waiting till the winter, when they were about to move them of fthe lot... Same with a sears drag mower I bought... I bought it in the dead of winter ( florida winter.. not so 'dead' ).. was last one they had in their lockup yard... was a last years model, still strapped to the pallet.. which was starting to fall apart.. was an 899 mower i bought for 5something... plus I bought the 3year extended warranty which was a good deal, as it was based on the reduced purchase price.. not the original price.... all in all, my credit card ticket was right under 600... tax and all.
Normally I don't do warranties.. but I did on this one as it was already a year old at the store.... paid of fthough, as carb went bad 2 years later.. got a 90 buck carb installed for free.. just had to trailer it up and leave it with them for a week... great mower.. but it just doesn't get used now that I have so many tractors... a great deal on that one... I really just waled into it... as I was looking for a bigger lawnmower than my murry.. sometimes you get lucky..

It is going to vary by region, with the northern regions having less difference. Down south here in florida, I find that right before it gets cold.. all lawn equipment goes on sale. Best time to buy a lawnmower is right before they pull them from the lots..before winter Many of the tractors dealers run a sale or two as well.. as no one is doing lawn / estate maintenance down here during winter.. and it isn't cold enough for snow.. etc. Up north, where there is snow.. there is less incentive to put things on sale inthe winter.. as there is a need.
Sometimes when the new models hit.. the old models get a slight discount to move them of fhte dealers lot.. that will vary by dealer.
Same with used dealers.. when their lot gets full.. they try to move some of the 'lesser' ( cheaper.. mor e beat up.. less soptions.. etc ) units to make room for ones that will make more money.
good luck
