Many green tractors at the red lots. Trading mostly because of dollars.
Versatile way cheaper if buying new because of the cnd dollar.
Redhead melfort took a large amount of green lately..18 and still counting as more green guys wanting to get in to the Red Club.

Time will tell how the local Lexion Dealer will do . We have dealt with them in the past and they have been very good .
But 35 or more new combines this fall out of a dealership that is only 2 years old here is an eye opener.
will be interesting to see how they keep up with service .
The combines have very much proven themselves, but the new dealer has been far more aggressive than the ole Kramer Cat b/s .

Funny how many long time maple clients are shopping or shifting to neutral and getting ready to exit stage right. 7 sold just under 400000 a quarter

Whether I am right or wrong in this feeling , It seems to me that once a dealership group manages to buy out all the competition they stop competing. Are more interested in big multi deals to a few than dealing with the many. Also the other manufacturer color bounty programs are a complete slap in the face to loyal customers. Planning on asking for a demo on a Claas for fall 17. Find the corporate lack of respect for the customers that have long supported the brand to be pretty insulting. Bought millions of dollars of equipment here over the last number of years and when you get a letter thanking you for your purchase and saying " Welcome to the John Deere Experience" it just shows that they have no idea who you are or how many generations your family has been part of the "John Deere experience"
Still have a John Deere plow my Great Grandfather used on this land over 100 years ago. Want to send them a picture of it and some smart ass response to their sad little letter.

Seeing more claas combines in mb too. Here they are the best in small grains, not so good on beans, peas, corn.

Each a New 2017 , same options, Deere quote $105,000 more, took home the 450 Versy, and 55' BG 8910 cultivator for the price of the Deere ... same 15L Cummins as Deere uses, W/O Def and the water pump does not need changing every 2000 hrs like the 13.5L.

Fj.... now how the hell do you expect to "go out in style" with a "Versy"? It won't look good at the auction sale that's for sure!

[fjlip]

I'm sure the two pieces will get more than the Deere tractor, looks fine to me, check one out.

The only problem we have had with our Versy with the 15l was the waterpump went at 1500 hours. Cummins in Regina had it in stock, 2hrs and $600 later we were rolling again.

We got a 535 Versatile....the platform before this new series. Does your new one come with that "classic" paint job?
