Agree 100%. If you don’t like it get out your checkbook. If it is same tractor somebody had foresight to know beans were going to go from 9 to 13$. Everything is up 10 to 20% because crops are up 20 to 40%. To guy blaming Haukos brothers what is story. You go on here calling them names but than don’t want to tell story. Nobody gets on here complaining that a dealer or jockey pd or allowed too much and is still sitting on same item 12 or 24 months latter. Usually more of a smirk that somebody got best of them. It is very easy to be a jockey, you don’t have to buy a franchise or stock parts. Just need a line of credit and go buy, see how it goes. Tractor was on Auctiontime, register and bid. End of story.
Good point...We trade for a lot of units that we end up taking a bath on. We thought it was "ok" when we made the deal, we kept the customer, etc, but then the market turns south...Combines are rough, but planters are the WORST!
Customers never know when that piece they traded us cost us a fortune to get rid of, or some freak thing breaks on it...it's just part of the business. Every once in a while, I wish some of my customers could swap places with us. LOL Some understand we're all in this together, some always think we're "putting the screws to them." It's a fun world!
