You have a lot to learn my friend...
Unless you're Allan in NE, you are not going to get a fair shake from a dealer. Dealers usually price the used tractors at 2-3 times what they're worth, and will not dicker/haggle/negotiate off that price by much. They're looking for the "big score," a fool with more money than brains.
