dont touch the PTO (power take off) when its in use, those wicked cool warning stickers tell the truth (the stickers with the dude getting spun arround the shaft).
John Deeres are way over priced, dont lay under a disk, dont lay under a plow, the average combine head will rip your arm off, the ones for corn are very mean. with bailers im not sure... but i think if you ran a person over with one you could turn him into a square or round bail of hay / straw

PS are you selling tractors, impliments, or both?
PPS i know that was no help at all

LMAO!!!!

James, Are you going to be in the parts department or are you going to be a salesman for the tractors themselves.John deere is way over priced but im sure you already know that, and your job will be to talk only good about your merchandise/machines...My family has a 8850 tractor, and ive ran that a couple years.Its a really nice tractor has loads of snort.But when she does break down its pricey to fix.Im partial to Caterpillar combines anymore...German manufactured....But I hear that John deere makes some nice skid steers also, one of my grandfathers own two of them...very roomy inside and I guess they are made so that they arent so bouncy to ride in.
Just study up on all the equipment so when someone says hey my so and so tractor broke down or i really like this model.You can be like yeah thats a great tractor or lead them in a better direction.If your in parts im sure they have a catolog on the computer so thatll be pretty easy to look up parts. good luck man let us know how it goes and sorry for this being so long lol later

John Deere makes some nice tractors that will last but i agree with the overpriced sticker they usually carry. Get to know the main features and functions of the tractor which will help you out. If they have a catalog i suggest you read it and get a lil knowledge on it it will help you out a lot.

im from a farming family. so i know some....hit me up with questions

[King James]

Hey thanks for all the help....its given me alot more knowledge bout everything....I just got back from my uncles....who used to own a farm and he gave me pointers on all the stuff ppl should look for and wat is good and bad....and i think that im gonna be mainly workin inside with just sellin like mowers and smaller things....but i know that the place does sell all the major farm equipment so its good to have knowledge in that.....again thanks for all the help...and thanks for the good lucks....ill let ya all know how it went tommorow.

remember, sell yourself and overexaggerate key ideas about yourself.

O ya i gotta remember that lol....i always kinda try and be modest and i think i take it too far some times....i think that comes back to bite me in the ass....but im not really too too worried bout that cuz i know that i am capable of doing the job....the only thing im worried about is the fact that im not really a farming type person lol....but o well we'll see how it goes....im off...wish me luck.

[King James]

The interview went pretty well i think.....i just basically sold my self to the guy and told him a bunch of the stuff that i learned bout it....he seemed shocked bout me lol....cuz im pretty sure as soon as he seen me he just assumed that right off the bat that i wasnt knowledgable bout it...cuz of my longish hair and american eagle clothing lol...but after that we just talked bout hockey cuz i told hm that i played and he loves it so....it went pretty well.....i have to go back tommorow tho and "sell" him a tractor....but thats not too hard i can sell ne thing...i just need to research some more.....thanks for all the help
