Acquiring a Well Built and Affordable Tractor at Auction
As many landowners can tell you, it isn’t just business owners who need compact tractors and other large equipment. From moving snow, to digging trenches, to clearing land, there are as many different needs for a tractor as there are landowners out there to think them up. But unlike many business owners, landowners don’t always have the capital to buy the compact tractors they need brand new. Which is why so many choose to shop and buy used tractors online. But just like shopping for a good used car online, shopping for a good used compact tractor online can be dicey.
This is why it’s so important to only consider skid steer loaders that come with detailed information and equipment protection plans. For example, one popular online auction website has a listing for a 2004 John Deere 4410 Compact Tractor. Priced at $24,500, or best offer, this tractor would be risky to buy if it didn’t come with both an optional equipment protection plan and full details from the seller. But because it has a listing that includes full information from the seller about how it was used, as well as a phone number for the seller, buying this particular compact tractor would be no more risky than buying one from a local seller.
Another example from this same auction website is the listing they have for a 2008 Massey Ferguson 1540 Sub Compact Tractor. Like the John Deere mentioned above, this listing also comes with an optional equipment protection plan, and good details from the seller, including a home phone number. And like the John Deere, this Massey Ferguson would be no more risky to buy that one from a neighbor or a used equipment dealer in your local area.
Of course, when buying anything online, including compact tractors and accessories like loader attachments, you need to be cautious, even when using credible websites. For example, when paying, only use protected payment websites such as PayPal, and never wire money or mail personal checks. By being careful, looking for good information, and only buying items that have protection plans, you can easily get the professional quality compact tractor you need for your property’s upkeep.
