| No, I wouldn't buy a Coupe because it doesn't fit my operation in the same way a 4630 doesn't fit my operation. If that size machine has that much market potential, resale will be good...especially if supply of new machines drops. If the market potential is as I suspect (shrinking based on my observations in my area and the press release, btw, these companies know how many of all these types of units are sold nation wide, they aren't guessing), prices for that size sprayer will increasingly spread from the price of larger sprayers as demand for new, small sprayers shrinks. It will take larger discounts to move new units. This hurts resale much more than stepping out at the right time.
Since you are in likely the highest market area for that size machine (based on what you said about the local dealer), what is your opinion of the demand for that size sprayer over the next 10 years (looking at new machines only) in that area? Do you see people that are buying new 4xxx Coupes, 4630 Deere, or 76x0 Coupes today buying bigger machines during their next couple trade cycles or sticking with the same size machine? Are their many small guys currently having their crops custom sprayed that you see growing enough to purchase a new sprayer of that size or will they jump higher?
These are serious questions, I'm not trying to be a smart ___, just curious because Texas is obviously different than the Midwest. | |
