Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire German John Deere tractors?

Sam,

I know nothing about the German JD's, but I recently bought one made in India(?). Just heard that recently.

In our locale, there are some crazy deals. The local JD dealership leased several hundred of these out to farmers last year. Guys sucked them up fast and they were leased up before many even heard about the deal. The lease terms were one year, up too 300 hours use, for a total lease payment of $300. That's not a misprint.

The tractors were new and were listed at $21,000ish before the lease deal. Once they came back off lease last month, they were available for purchase at $13,000 through the dealership. I jumped on one a friend had. The tractor had 16 hours and had been kept inside all year. He'd used it to haul tobacco on trailers to the barn.

It may not be much as a true "farm" tractor, but I like it for my needs. It's my new bush hogging driveway grading food plot fun machine!
