Very southern Mn | To IN 555 original post. Maybe with 4$ corn or 5$ corn with 5$ expenses are making what dealers have to sell not so desirable? I mean in fact how they are packaging all kinds of technology and than adding subscription fees on top of the purchase to justify big price increases as said above, maybe they have reached a tipping point. On top of increased pricing because of added tech, you also have the yearly price raise. You have to remember during Covid they put on some 10% raises that never came back off. Now add the 2 or 2 1 /2 % yearly raises and machinery costs spin out of control fast. Machinery Pete has reported recently again on record highs on some used equipment, not all of it low hour so maybe some of slowness with these mfg is they are pricing themselves out of market with a lot of features that have limited marketability on top of endless price increases when grain market is lower than 4 or 5 price increases ago? . I know Deere recently rolled out its see and spray or whatever they call it but than you have to pay a 5$ fee per acre on top of purchase of technology. There is a never ending bill in the mail. | |
