So I want a Land Pride GS1560 for my tractor and the local dealer did not have one but they could order one for me for $2500. So I called a dealer about 40 miles away and he says they have 2 and they are $2400. I called a 3rd one and they have one for $1895 plus tax. It pays to shop around.

I bet the cheapest one is because it’s LAST YEAR’s MODEL…!! 🤣

Cheaper priced ones are probably due to
A) already in stock and came in on a stock order
B) older production ones before the multiple price increases and cheaper trucking.
C) one the dealer had to order in has all the production price increases and more expensive trucking due to higher fuel prices

Here’s the little beauty now. If I can only get my tractor back from the dealer I can use it. How long does it take to fix a tire?
