Buying a tractor in Canada

[Gundoctor]

I am from New Haven, Vermont. I have done some looking at buying a used tractor and sometimes they are listed in Canada.

Does anyone know about getting a tractor into the USA. Do we have to pay a tax or is it "Free Trade"
How much paper work is it???

The has less to do with it that what somebody at the border "thinks".
I tried to bring a FARM tractor across and the customs agent insisted on having the tractors license,registration and insurance.
Get the info from customs in writing.

Bought a Fox self propelled forage harvester last November in Lancaster New York - outside Buffalo - seller signed a receipt -all we had to do was pay the tax - unfortunately - one customs officer made us pay provincial sales tax - which at the time was not paid on large farm equipment - oh well -you can't really argue with them. They did inspect the whole machine including the dually pickup with their leather gloves on looking for Dope or whatever - never found anything - machine was very clean -only some dust stuck to the oil undercoating - make sure once you load the tractor on the trailer that you thoroughly wash the whole machine including the tires - no dirt is to cross the border that could harbour insects.
