Since Theo mentioned parts, its probably worth- while to say a little about Gray market tractors. These are generally new tractors that are made for sale in a foreign country but are re-sold here....generally at very good prices. The problem with them can be parts availability, or lack thereof. Some guys swear by them, but others haven't fared so well. There is an entire segment devoted to Grey market tractors over on tractorbynet.com.
One way to recognize a gray is that they generally do not have safety equipment such as seat belts that are required in the USA. Also, any lettering is usually in the language that it was originally meant for sale. If one could assure parts availability, this might be a viable option to save some money.
