The consumer product line is a very hard market to make money in. You have to be in the right place location wise to make much with it. You maybe luck to make $500 on a $5000 lawn tractor and the time/cost to sell/deliver it is not much different than the time/cost for selling a full size tractor. A lot of the AG dealers around here are basically out of the consumer product line. They just keep a few models and pretty much sell them at list. Which would be a 25% mark up on the premium line and 15% on the cheaper lines like Home Depot has. So lets say you make full markup of 25% on a $5000 lawn tractor. And you sell 20 a year. That would be $1250 x 20 = $25,000 That is not bad money but that would not go far towards covering the cost of a salesman, inventory, and service training.
Being a consumer products dealer is hard. The dollars just are not there for most areas. You have to be able to sell a lot of units. Even parts sales are not that great for a lawn tractor. I do not send and average of over $100 each year on my garden tractors. So consumer product parts sales will not carry much of an overhead.
