Looking for a big discount when you buy
a tractdr? Don’t get stuck with an even
bigger discount when you want to sell it.
Always consider resale value when
you price a field tractor. Because the
differences among brands may some-
times be bigger than ANY purchase
incentive.
Compare John Deere with our two
leading competitors. According to the
Spring 1984 Official Guide of the National
Farm and Fbwer Equipment Dealers
Association, the average 5-year-old
John Deere 4440 sells for 106 percent
of its 1979 list price. One leading com-
petitor averages 87 percent of its 1979
list price. The other averages 73
percent.
What’s that mean in dollars? Add
the John Deere
the competitor's
advantage is as much as $8,938!
Is this only true of one model?
No. Every 40 Series 90- to 180-hp
tractor has an average resale price
that’s higher than its new price five
years ago.
Is resale your only John Deere
advantage/ No. Don t forget
