  Female Negotiating Tractor Purchase

Blue, first let me say everyone who has responded here has given you very good advice. My wife, too, is the all time champ on negotiating prices for almost all of my purchases. However, she does so after I narrow the range of what to buy and how it is equipped. One slightly different opinion, you may be interested in looking at a small diesel skid steer unit, especially for mucking. They take a wide range of quick attach implements, can make right angle and zero radius turns (great for stalls and corrals), and with the wider tires work well in muddy paddocks. Most important, be yourself, be honest with the dealer, and be educated before you step out of the house. Good luck.

thats an excellent point on the skid steer,the reason I did not go that rout is the ground clearence. When your mucking you had better invest in some tracks for that unit unless you have something bigger to pull it out with !!!!!!
YOU CAN GET THESE THINGS STUCK AND STUCK GOOD !!!!
At least with a tractor you can invest in a pto winch

The Cadet should do your work and make life much easier for you. They are new and I feel a relitively good buy. The average engine life of those engines is around 3500 vs double that on low end diesels. There is a price difference. To me you being a female is a plus, chances are when we would start working you have no bad habits or misconceptions of the machinery or it's performance. Find a dealership that you feel comfortable working with as well as the machinery. I would hate to think that if I wasn't in the industry where I am as to how much money I would have spent to learn what I've forgotten!

I disagree about the skidsteer they are not nearly as versitile as a CUT. They are limited in ground clearance also no good for mowing. They will tear a lawn to shreds. A cut can do many more things much easier than a skidsteer.
