PRO TIP:
A tractor's resale value is an important consideration. Purchasing a bottom-dollar tractor now may result in lower resale value down the road.
Check out the resale values on used tractors to determine which models and brands best retain their value.
Maintenance
Before you buy, make sure you understand what maintenance your tractor will require, and how often. At a minimum, you'll need to know how to check the engine and hydraulic oil levels, how to locate oil and air filters, and how to reach the battery.
Warranty
The manufacturer's warranty is a key consideration when purchasing a tractor. Most manufacturers offer a 24-month basic warranty and a 36-month powertrain warranty.
Cost of ownership
Don't forget that the cost of owning a tractor is not just the purchase price. Taking care of your tractor ensures a longer operating life and higher resale value. Operating costs include fuel, fluids, repairs and scheduled service, and can run anywhere from $10 to $100 per month, depending on the tractor's size and how often it's used. Keep in mind a used or lower quality tractor may have more repair costs.
