Dealer is offering a trolley package with my new tractor. Is it better to buy the trolley now or get one separately later?

A trolley is one of the most useful and earning implements, so most farmers do want one. Whether to take the dealer package or buy separately comes down to price and quality. Dealer packages can be convenient and sometimes bundled in the loan, but local trolley fabricators often offer good build at competitive prices and you can choose the size and load capacity. Compare the dealer's trolley price and quality against two local makers, and check the axle, tyres, body gauge and braking. Make sure the trolley load matches your tractor's pulling capacity so you do not strain the machine. If finance and warranty bundling matters to you, the package may suit; if you want the best value and custom size, buy separately. Confirm price and specs both ways before deciding.
I got mine from a local fabricator for less than the dealer quote and got the exact size I wanted.
