Challenges to find vineyard equipment in California

If you are based in the state of California and if you are planning to buy a vineyard equipment in the area, you might find the task pretty challenging. Here are some of the reasons why:

The challenge of finding a good distributor - in a state that is big as California, finding a good, reputable distributor is a bit difficult. You might be able to secure a list of prospective distributors from somebody but that does not mean you do not need to conduct a thorough examination on their background anymore.

Recommendation: make your own research prior to buying a vineyard equipment (e.g. utility vehicles, tractors); list down some good prospects (and the Internet is a good place for this) and then perform further company background check to trim down your list until you finally arrive to the best choice.

The competition - the competition among distributors might put some confusion in you part; some might give deceiving product info just to convince you to buy their items. This scenario is common to places where competition is high. So, you need to be careful whet it comes to this, especially with California.

Recommendation: work on securing a list of recommendation from proven reputable entities or individuals who are experts in this area. A government agency that regulates dealers is helpful; information other institutions like Better Business Bureau can also help in finding some good prospects.

The price - while California is not the most expressive state in the USA, in general, we can not deny that prices on heavy equipment such as utility vehicles can be pretty high in this area, considering the demand in the market as well as the standard of living.

Recommendation: make product comparison by investigating the list of prices provided by your prospects. Knowing the factory price can also help you to weigh on whether or not the distributors' (the market price) prices list is justifiable or not.

Used versus New - the challenge of buying either used vineyard equipment or the new one is another area that might put some confusion to you. Buying a used equipment can save you some good amount of money, but it could also present major drawbacks when it comes to equipment performance.

Recommendation: Consider the duration of use of equipment - are you planning to use it long term or short term? If it is for long term use, buying a used vineyard equipment might be impractical most especially if the previous own did use the equipment for quite a long time already.
