Dealers Not Accepting Some Brands on Trade

[two_bit_score]

The bright side is there will be some screaming deals for those with cold hard cash to come in and scoop up. Caveat emptor.

Are you saying those "screaming deals" will be on USED tractors taken in trade by dealers?

Honestly the best bet is to sell the tractor yourself, rather than trading it in if it is an older machine. Remember they will low ball you, as they plan to sell it for market price. I know i looked into trading in my 2305 and what they were offering was 50% less what they were going for at the time. Its just the headache of tire kickers that makes trading in look appealing.

I expect used machines for sure.

New machines will depend on a lot of factors. Probably the most important is total inventory to sales. If the manufacturers don't build more machines than the market will absorb (and they are very good about this), then they won't be very likely to reduce prices to dump what they have.

If the manufacturers overbuild in anticipation of a strong market and then demands falls off a cliff then they might have to discount new equipment too, just to get rid of it.

Trade in not so important to me as just being able to keep the tractor running. I've never had a problem big enough to actually need an independent mechanic until I got a Mahindra and then I owned it for 9 years before that happened.

Nearest dealers are Kubota/New Holland and JD, but the JD is a corporate chain store.

Most of the discussion has been about Kubota v the Korean manufacturers, but where does New Holland stand these days in relationship to Kubota, Kioti, and TYM in terms of reliability and parts support?

The New Holland brand has been bought and sold multiple times, it is now owned by a company called CNH Industrial. CNH has very good support for anything that it made and pretty decent support for most of the equipment that the companies it bought made in the past. Their old equipment parts support is not quite as good as Deere's (which is extensive), but not very far off. The CNH equipment I've run have been as reliable as anything else I'd run.

I can't say anything personally about Kubota as I've never owned anything they or one of their subsidiaries made, but their reputation among others in my area that do have Kubota equipment is pretty good. I can't say anything at all about Daedong/Kioti as the only exposure to them I've had is seeing one of their little compacts on a lot once, that's it. LS makes CNH's compact tractors and I have used a New Holland-branded LS and it was a solid tractor. I can't say anything about LS's support as that machine's support came from CNH, not LS.

These units were for sale, not auction.

do not know what to tell you, your market is just not tracking like my local market, who knows.

Can you explain: “Massy lost their respect”?
They might be one of the most respected tractor & equipment manufacturers in the world.

I own two. One older one 2021 75 HP. I love them both. That’s all that matters

CNHI is, in turn, owned and controlled by Exor...

You can swing by a bunch of us in East Texas on your way to Granbury. You can take a upclose look at my AC system and see what I can do to improve it.
