Not dickering on price is foolish. Sorry, but they have a cushion built in there and it makes their day when somebody comes along too insecure to make an offer. It is how business has been done since the beginning. Researching on Tractorhouse does not tell you what they sell for "off the farm". Those are mostly dealers on there. Frequently some of the highest prices around. Auction prices are good estimates, but you need a bunch of them to that you can remove the highs and lows and calculate a true median price that is not skewed. I generally look at the asking price and try to come up with what they want. Generally, if they ask $8200 they probably have $8000 in mind. But that is still too high. At a dealership you are always going to pay a high price. If I really wanted it I would be looking to get them to go $7500. If they stick with a higher number then I would look for flaws they can fix at wholesale and ask for that. On the 1586 I asked for a seal to be replaced. Big deal for me, not so much for them. But if you don't' like dickering,then don't. It's only money.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
