Strong Farmer

Nothing at moment still using it. Boss told me to get rid of it but I am stubborn and like to keep my equipment deprication at a reasonable level.

Hahaha. I am always honest have nothing to hide. I buy some equipment used too and usually get same respect. Sometimes you just get a lemon and they all don't get squeezed out during warranty period. Some of fixes are pathetic.

Hahahaha. I do the same with some tractors. Out of sight out of mind. Then you don't have to drudge that phone call. I have one that's giving me abit of grief at moment. Needs tires now too. I think I just trade that one in.

Do you spilt some of savings with buyer or do yoy keep it all. Does dealer add on a pass thru fee of some sort too to cover there time? Thanks

Some just don't want to do it for a few reasons. A few guys on here seem to do it often and dealers co-operate. Anything to save some taxes when purchasing a new one that's for sure. Also makes sure no liens on it for buyer.

It's defiantly harder to be ahead with same 13 percent as dealers now. Before hst there was an extra 5 percent to work with.

That's true usually I make 5k more then trade. I always do it ahead of time. Can't get what I want trade it in 😎. Now I just seem to keep them forever mostly and see how far they go. Our average family vehicle age is 18.3 years at moment.

27 not a bad deal I take that. 1k is 1k. That's at least a week of work for most people.

Good job. I noticed market is flooded with used atv's people are trying to get rid of. Might be a good time to replace my 2011 or keep it as a back up bike. It gets used almost every day here on farm.

I said 2.30 a few weeks ago by July and I got everything thrown at me for that. 🤣 government behind it they want gas vehicles off the road and into electrics.

A tent trailer is around 26,000. A nice hard top side one where ends just fold out and you have access to most of trailer when ends are folded in is around 45,000 ish depending on options. Those have full size fridges and stoves and nicer washroom. Motor homes are closer to quarter million dollars now 🤣.

Good luck. Maybe you find someone willing to sell with increasing fuel prices. Volume of those motor homes is allot less then trailers. They defiantly hold value pretty good these days. You want to go to Florida too and camp out in Walmart parking lots along the way. My buddy always did that. He joked he saved enough on camp sites to cover a portion of fuel bill 😀.

Trail stops in Manitouwadge. They haven't re opened rest yet. Hopefully in near future it would make a nice loop again for riders in wawa, dub hornepayne area's. On bucket list if it ever re opens 😎.

Maybe they come up with one monthly payment and you can trade sled in April and get a new atv. Come late fall they take atv back and give you a new sled. Would be a clever idea.

Nope they won't give you squat for it. Get a better deal without it 😀.

I hope you right. Our local Polaris dealer still has lots of 2024's in stock including three xcr's (cancelled snow checks) Never sold them last I checked.

Yes 850's are a gamble.

Most sellers will negotiate abit. They all seem to list high and wait and see. I had a few say they go down a few grand after they aren't moving for a few months. I haven't seen any killer deals either but some good deals with low mileage and some warranty left. Dealer in kearny blew out a used vr1 2022 with 7s for 11,999 I believe it was. Went fast. Had around 2300 miles I believe. It was an 850. Haven't seen any 650's that cheap any where yet.

That's pretty sad. You can't trust ice to be flat or free of obstacles on your first pass of the day, that's for sure.

Have to go this week. Next week it warms up. Not sure it's worth 8 hour trip With limited amount of trails open. Everyone will want to go 🤣.

They are ok tire. Many better choices out there now? Light truck tires are better suited to trucks.

Toyo are good tires. I love there winter tires. Cheaper then Nokia still has walnut shells in tread and they last. Gsi 6 or whatever they call them.

I agree but they are banned unless you live far enough north in Ontario. In south they use that new chemical salt that works down to minus 25 C or so. 30 years ago they never cleaned roads down to bare pavement. Everyone just drove according to conditions. Now today every one wants to blame someone else for thier actions or poor judgement calls. It's a sad world. I get truck some drivers that can barely back up on a good day. They rabbit hop backwards 😆. A little bit of snow they can't move. Then next guy that has more experience can make a gong show look easy 😎.

It's crazy! Here comes ice and snow we all been waiting for. 😆 Thanks for heads up on tires. Not much that help on ice though besides some good driving skills and a little bit of luck.

Nope was to cheap to buy steel rims. Cheaper to just leave snow tires on. Rims I would need sensors too. Next time I am going for those all weather tires. All you really need and they are very good in snow.
