All I know is that a $5K tractor in Michigan or Ohio or Indiana is a $8-10K tractor here in Northern NY. I look at Tractorhouse, etc. and see, for instance, 5000 Fords with good rubber and in fine cosmetic shape go for, say, $6500. Up here that same tractor would go for at least $8500-9K. If the average tractor from up here went south it'd be considered junk. Rust is big up here, few people have tractor sheds, tires are unreal. IMO location has a lot to do with it.
As far as dealers, our local JD dealer is a pretty good outfit, but- I was looking for a 65-75hp diesel. Their sales guy talked me into trying a MF165 they had on the lot. The hyd pump was shot, wouldn't lift my bale spear, much less a bale. Found out later I was the 3rd guy they tried this on, knowing the pump was bad. Being 10-20hp less than I needed was one thing, but sending a broken unit out was kinda dumb IMO. The Case/AGCO/NH dealer is even worse, their parts guy is surly and they won't even consider budging on prices for used equipment that's already sky high. I don't get it. THey must see the trucks from Monroe and Lamb&Webster and some of the other big outfits in the area. You'd think they'd at least try to compete.

Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
