I work close enough to a Deere dealer that I can see the back of the building through the trees, but I rarely turn down the road that goes past the entrance. When I did last week, I noticed probably 2 dozen new compacts - probably 1 to 3 series in two neat rows, plus a few more scattered around the yard. Back before snow I swear they had less than half a dozen on the lot.
Is Availability Coming Back?

I noticed TSC had 2.5 Gallon jugs of T6 on sale recently.

I hope so too. OTOH I'd think late Winter would be the time of peak inventory on lots.

Drove past a HUGE Deere dealer in Eastern WV. They were packed full of Green paint. Last October was a different story.

I was at my JD dealer this morning. He had a lot more steel on his lot than I’ve seen in a long time!
I mentioned it when I chatted with “my” salesman. He laughed and said everything I see outside and everything he has in their huge shops right now is all sold. Except for two 1025’s.
When I brought up the price of used machines, he looked up the all-in price I paid for my 2020 4066R. Laughed again and said he could give me more than what I paid, mark it up, and sell it in a heartbeat. I would then order a new one
That’s an actual program they have going on with existing customers now, on tractors far older than mine.

Shipping outlook encouraging for 2022
At the start of the shipping season the big question was, “Will shipping bounce back from the depressed levels seen in 2020 due to the pandemic?”

Local JD places around here are stocked with machines. Prices have skyrocketed over the past two years as well.

I dont know about production, but I believe inventory will increase because interest rates have risen 1-2% and shipping prices have risen because of diesel fuel prices.
Net result is higher prices and a smaller swath of the population being able to afford existing and incoming inventory.

John Deere is moving its tractor cab production from Waterloo to Mexico
Deere cited a tight labor market as it acknowledged plans to move some operations to Ramos Arizpe, Mexico, in 2024. Up to 250 jobs could be affected.
