Be a people person, and know how to bring your product to the customer. You aren't selling energy drinks, the customers in this industry don't respond well to hot half naked chicks crawling all over tractors. Trust me.

There are no aftermarket parts for my line, except some of the older (60's-late 80's) International aftermarket parts might cross over. They probably suck because there's a market for them, but the manufacturers won't certify them. Can you find NOS or new manufacture parts from New Holland? Might be more expensive, but worth a shot. Just hit me that you're running a gas burner. I can't answer your question at all.

No, shop guys use Craftsman stuff from Sears. All we do here is final fitment. Stick on loaders, hoes, seats, tires, and steering wheels. Sometimes an auxiliary valve or two, but mostly the factory does that. |

Tractor parts are seasonal. And very dependent upon the economy. Large trucks might be better for money. If I weren't working for an OEM, I wouldn't be doing this. No way I could work for a dealership unless I owned it. No real advice, but if you've got your automotive stuff down pat, you could transition over to tractors very easily, that's what I did. |

I have worked with the two guys that sold the first Mahindras stateside. One passed earlier this year, the other still works for the company.

I did bring in some of the Korean LG tractors prior to them getting tied up with Long. Back then people were funny about "foreign tractors". They had no idea where their "American" tractors were actually made. I can't tell you how many times I was lectured/threatened because of it. |

http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/3734/receiverxw0.jpg lol. Not to hijack the OP, but one of the Chinese tractor factories I visited in the 90's also produced AK's. I could have purchased an entire production line and parts for something like $10k. They only ran the line when certain African nations placed an order. Apparently, one of those nations stiffed them on payment, so they were trying to sell off the machinery and parts to raise some funds.
Most of those manufacturers in India and China made cars, trucks, and all sorts of other stuff in the same factory. |

Yep, same line the Mahindras roll off of used to produce Jeeps for the allied war effort. They tried to get them to the US, but had trouble.
