I was on my way home from my Dr appointment and decided to stop by the deere dealer. I started walking through the used stuff and thought I noticed a 47 blower sitting in the weeds, so I walked closer and sure enough sitting on a pallet was a very very very nice 47, an open frame 3 point hitch, front and rear weight brackets, five suitcase weights, three unopened packages of mower blades and some unopened hydraulic covers. I asked the salesman what they wanted for the blower, and he told me he couldn't sell just the blower, that it was a package deal with a 318. I asked where the 318 was and he took me to it. It was a fairly nice, good running 1100 hour machine with wheel weights, bags and a power flow.

I knew it would be way out of my price range, so I hesitantly asked what they wanted for the whole package... he said it's probably to much, but they wanted $800 for it all... I couldn't tell him sold fast enough lol. Pics to come once it's home.

Fantastic!!!!!!

Had a discussion last night with a friend that you never know where a dealer or Deere will be on price... sometimes they are so expensive it makes your stomach hurt... other times so cheap you keep wondering if they forgot a zero... :ROF

Looking forward to pictures.

Hope the recovery is progressing nicely!!

With that deal, anything over and above the 318 was free.



Nice score!

!!! Wow. Man, what a deal! That's the kind of deal when you try very hard to hide your enthusiasm and seal the deal before they realize their mistake.

Great score! I am guessing it was a recent trade in and the dealer just wanted it off their lot. Can't wait for pictures, what are you going to do with another tractor lol!

Nice score. I, for one, wouldn't have been able to get my wallet out fast enough for a deal like that. I never seem to find deals like that around here.

Not to sound like a broken record but :wwp::wwp::wwp:

Thanks guys, I was very excited about it. I forgot to grab pics of the tractor, but here is one of the front bracket now on the 332. The blower is dusty, but looks like it was hardly used at all

Oops, blower pics. You can see the paint is barely worn off the augur, and there is still packing tape on the hydraulic lines

Well a friend talked me out of the 318. He's been wanting one really bad and I really only have room for one more machine, and I want that to be another diesel. As much as I wanted to keep the 318, away it went with the power flow. I kept the blower, front bracket, weights, chains etc.

So how does the 47 blower perform? This is the only one I have ever seen so I'm new to them. Never even looked to hard at them due to their price tag
