I’m doing some research before buying another tractor and came across ST Autos Inc in Scott City, KS 67871.

Has anyone here looked at or purchased equipment through STAutosInc.com?

I’m especially interested in how they handle the transaction once you’ve bought something. Do they help with getting the equipment delivered, and how long did it take?

For reference:

ST Autos Inc
1421 S Main St,
Scott City, KS 67871
(620) 263-2684 or (620) 872-1212

I looked into one of their tractor listings and, for this sample discussion, the machine was a John Deere 6120M.

The delivery side was what caught my attention. The equipment was received within the agreed timeframe, which is obviously important when you’re planning field work around a new machine.

That’s useful. Did you buy the tractor with any attachments, or was it just the tractor?

Just the tractor.

I’d recommend asking for a complete equipment list before purchasing, especially if the listing mentions loaders, buckets, implements, or other accessories.

I was looking at a John Deere 4044R listing.

For me, the important thing wasn’t just the tractor itself but the logistics. If you’re buying from another state, I’d get the delivery location, estimated delivery date, loading requirements, and transportation cost confirmed before closing the deal.

That’s good advice.

I’ve been comparing smaller utility tractors with the larger models. A John Deere 3038E is closer to what I need, so transportation should be easier than with a 6,000+ series machine.

If anyone is considering buying remotely, I’d also ask for current photos and the hour meter before making a decision.

One more thing I’d check is the actual condition of the tires, hydraulics, PTO, and loader if one is included.

A tractor can look good in photos and still need maintenance once it gets to the farm.

Absolutely.

I’d also confirm the serial number and service history. Those details are worth checking before paying for any used tractor.

For the John Deere 6120M example I mentioned, the delivery itself went according to the agreed schedule.

Thanks everyone for the information. I actually went ahead and purchased the tractor I was looking at, and overall I’m very satisfied with the purchase.

The process was straightforward from my side. I was able to discuss the equipment details before completing the transaction, including the condition of the tractor, the equipment included with it, and the transportation arrangements.

Delivery was also an important factor for me because I was buying from out of state. The tractor arrived within the delivery timeframe that had been discussed, which made the process much easier to plan around.

For anyone else researching ST Autos Inc, I’d recommend contacting them directly and asking about the specific tractor or piece of equipment you’re interested in. Make sure you confirm the condition, hours, included equipment, transportation cost, and expected delivery date before completing the purchase.

For reference, the contact information is:

ST Autos Inc.
1421 S Main St, Scott City, KS 67871
(620) 263-2684 or (620) 872-1212
STAutosInc.com

I’m very happy with how the purchase and delivery worked out for me, and I appreciate everyone’s input in this thread.
