New Tractor prices, how fast have things escalated?

[Hay Dude]

A lot of people are retiring or just leaving the rat race. Getting away from cities and tyrannical blue states. Lots and land in the country around me are selling constantly. I'm amazed at all the places that have sold and are being built on.

These people need/want tractors and have money. I don't see a downturn anytime soon.

You are an extremely perceptive man. This is going on in my area and has driven small from prices up by almost 50%. My wife and I are priced out of the market forever as more & more coastal elites settle on farms in my area.
One actually good thing about it is they have NO CLUE how to grow a flower much less how to farm, so I can get business from them.

Same thing here - although in the Western US that changes to "getting away from cities and tyrannical red AND blue states". But everything else is the same here as you describe.

I bought my first Kubota L60 series in 2018 and got 15% off MSRP. Three months ago on my second Kubota I only got 10% off. GM said he didn’t have the inventory to sell and the 5% difference was to help him keep the lights on and cover his overhead. The tractors he did have weren’t moving well because FEL weren’t available. FEL back ordered up to a year.
