Ron,
In the last two months of dealing with every dealer in my area, I found that the way they are competing against each other is package buys. Of coarse if a person only needs a tractor then idealy you would want the best price. In my case I needed implements so I found it best to negotiate a package buy vs. searching for used pieces one at a time. Some dealers are willing to sale implements close to cost just to sale a tractor and gain a new client (service). I suppose it only really matters what ones needs are. The market in my area has a lot of dealers for all brands, thus competition is up and this filters from more families buying acres and needing a piece of equipment that can handle the load. Unfortunately we all have to go through the trouble of trying to get a good deal and as some one said in another thread - he based it on the service/dealer because he felt he was being treated well. I have to agree with that as well - I could have saved $1,500 by going else where, but I liked the ower of the dealership and I felt he was honest and shooting me straight.

Domenico,
I - to am new to compact tractors and went through the same dilima. Based on what you are looking to spend and based on what I found on the market - pull up www.kioti.com and click on O'Bryan's - they have four package buys that might enterest you. I saw a 20hp with front loader and backhoe and trailer for 10,000. I like all the different brands, but I went with the kioto 3054 as a package. It is a fit for me - FYI - I could not find any used ones and the ones I did find were close to the new prices. Good Luck!

Miklos,
Thanks for the in-put on the Kioti. I just purchased a LK3054 w/ front loader rear tiller, grader dox, 6'foot finish mower, 12" post auger, and a 18' trailer for $17,500. I got a lot of equipment for my money and I can use the money I saved else where. I to, do not see paying more for less tractor and no equipment. I found that there is concern about parts and service, but in most cases - once some one has gone through the red tape to get it into the States it is here to stay and there are many companies making aftermarket parts for tractors and vehicles. There is a lot of talk on the board about service and dealers in the area, but I think one point is being missed, if a person is going to drop 15,000+ and up on a new piece of equipment then it better not hit the shop for many years past the warranty. All the warranty protects the buyer from is a manufacturer defect - and that goes for auto's as well. I have a Polaris that I maintain and it has never seen a service center.
Good luck with your tractor and thanks again for the tip.

Mark,
UPS has a air district out of Louisville, KY and it is the largest one in the world. Last year UPS open what they call "Hub 2000" and the hiring began. UPS uses a Tug (which looks like a bobcat tractor) to pull around cards from the jets to the sort area and then back. I would imagine when they opened the new hub they rented the tractors. Also there is a Ford plant across the street from UPS, so they more than likely received excellant rates.

Ted,
Thanks for the inside - I agree with you on the market and that is what I was thinking based on the local dealers. The dealers seem to be reputable in the industry and most of them have been selling the Kioti for at least 6 years and that is why the buy is a good one. Mechanically the tractor is sound and I thought I would get outside opinions.
Do you have any recommendations on brands of equipment - i.e. tiller, disc, blades, loaders, plows etc.?
Thanks again - excellant point!
