Nykolaishen flyer ...

[MBgrower]

Anyone buying iron this year will have buyer regrets nextyear. Way too much new iron sitting on farm and dealer lots. USA farmers shifting acres to beans this year, see how much cash flow they have this fall when bean prices drop into the $8/bu range. Same here with 9 canola and 5.50 wheat

Hobby, one or two years does NO wear them out, why trade? Must be CASH for new someplace.
Does not compute. But if trades don't sell watch the value of trade in allowance crash. Should reduce the NEW IRON addiction!

I got that flyer today, wow I am out of touch. 400 large for a belted tractor, 400 large for a sprayer and 400 large for a combine. 225 large for a seeder.
FjLip with multiple passes of expensive crop protection products a new reliable sprayer is a must. Windows of Application can be small and weather unpredictible, a farmer does not want to miss the right time to spray, or the product will not work and the crop will not be protected. Low yeilds , more weeds. If you miss one flush of weeds The weed seed bank will be there for years. You will have problems for a long time. You want to keep your land clean. A good new sprayer will do that.

A good used sprayer will too, if you keep it up, and has the added benefit that you should know how it works. One of the things I hear time and again from the "trade it every year" crowd is that it takes the first 3-4 days every year to get new equipment "locked in". When I pull my planter out I know exactly how it's going to work after the first 5 minutes of refreshing my memory

That's why I thought the Richie sale into Stoon was the real barometer - farmers are willing to pay far less than dealers think

[bigzee]

My brother knows the Nykolaishens he says a lot of that machinery comes off their farm with one year use. No machinery cost to put/take crop off, and their farm is quite large.

[furrowtickler]

Lol - well that might have worked the last few years - it will be a cost if that machinery sits for a birthday because it is 30% overpriced to the rest of the market .

[farmaholic]

Hobby, coming from you, your tongue must be raw with all you've said tongue in cheek!!!

Between the lines I read some sarcasm.

Me Thinks Dealers are Gunna Have a Come To Jesus Moment By The Time Harvest Rolls Around!!!!!!!!!! ))))))))))

"trade it every year" , right dalek, learning curve and the "bugs" of new. Local large farm has the dealership on speed dial and near daily service calls. Subsequent years of use get better, till I dread trading and relearning, must be too long in the tooth, lol.
Jay Dee sales so slack all winter, staff painted interior walls for recreation. IMHO in a down turn machinery inventory is less desirable than grain in the bin.
