Funny you should mention this as I was just talking to my Farmer's agent about the same thing.

She said she could write me what I guess would be a farm policy, if we are using the tractor for genuine agricultural work, but there are a bunch of questions you have to answer (regarding what you grow, etc). However, she said this type of policy would only cover liability! No comp or collision.

She looked into getting the tractor covered under our existing homeowner's policy. I think it is possible to do that, but she said it would run $250 every 6 months. She said she's never insured a tractor before and she didn't sound [i]too[/i] sure about what she was saying, so I'm taking it all with a grain of salt.

Neither option is attractive. It seems like you should be able to insure one of these things against theft for a reasonable amount...

Thanks for your replies, everyone.

When I originally posted, what little common sense I have was telling me NOT to do it. The excitable kid in me, however, was convinced that it was a perfect fit and would fit snug as a hat in a box and look pretty neat besides.

The early reponses to my post allowed my common sense to override the excitable kid and I left the trailer at home.

I figured if necessary I could rent one somewhere near the dealer.

As it was, when I asked the salesman how much they charge for delivery, he gave me a funny look and said, "It's free."

At any rate, the tractor hasn't even been prepped (hours read 0.3 so it must be fresh out of the oven?) and their service department was closed today.

They'll bring it out on Monday!!!

Oddly, my wife was more excited after we signed the papers than I was. She said, "Now we can do all that landscaping we've been talking about."

Looks like we'll be fighting over who gets to play on the tractor...

We've been discussing various projects and I think we're going to keep "Orange Julius" pretty busy.

One thing I did today that might have been a mistake, and I'd like some advice: I purchased a 48" Gearmore rotary mower for $850(!).

This seemed like a good idea at the time as I don't want to fool around anymore with this "project" of buying equipment. I have too many real projects I need to get started on.

Did I get skinned? And is Gearmore a good brand? I asked if he had Kubota mowers and he said they are more expensive and would have to be special ordered. They supposedly order the Gearmores "by the truckload" and can therefore offer a good deal on them. Maybe I should call Monday and cancel the rotary mower?

Hi, all-<br>
<br>
I'm looking to purchase a BX23 with a 12" bucket and 48" scraper.<br>
<br>
Their price is $16,600. Is this a good price?<br>
<br>
Also, what kind of perks should I be haggling for? In another thread someone mentioned free pickups/deliveries for service. Is this a service that is typically offered?<br>
<br>
This would be nice as the dealer is 65 miles from me. OTOH, hopefully it won't need any service that I can't do myself!<br>
<br>
What other perks? Free hat and jacket?<br>
<br>
