Southwest Illinois | Had been trading Kinze 3600 16/31 planters every 3 years. 6 years ago we went from 16/31 box to the exact same planter, but new for $4 per acre. 3 years ago same thing but went to bulk fill for $4.30. Just got a quote(same dealership but new owners) and they want over $6 per acre. Neighbor runs Deere's and he was complaining how much they wanted to trade and they trade every year or two. I think a lot of dealers are setting on a number of planters traded for a year ago that they did not get the used ones sold. So the knee jerk reaction is to try and make up for the losses on the trades a year ago on this years trades. I think the larger the planter the bigger the problem. | |
