Yup farmers expecting a good crop.
Local Caseih independant dealer sold 4 new 9240 combines to 1 farm today..

How can one farm buy 4 of these things? Is Scotiabank Saskatoon backing this farm? From what i heard, when you cap out with FCC and no one else wants you, Scotia will give you what you want

Who can justify buying new and seeing it depreciate by 30-50% in a couple of years? 30% of $700,000= $200,000. 50% = $350,000 pretty cheap - no?

Judging by the fact that it keeps occurring, and the spread between new and used keeps growing, it appears as though virtually everyone can afford it, otherwise, prices would be going the other way. The laws of supply and demand at work.

For a small scale hanger on like me, the last I thing I want to see is the big boys quit buying new. If so if they can’t make it float I definitely am not too far behind.

Can't have good used without having new at one point in a machine's life.....

The big boys have to keep buying those 100,000 dollar decals....

I hope that the big boys keep buying so we will be able to pick their scraps when they throw them out.

Anyone remember first equipment, may they and there clones rot in hell forever.
