New Tractor Sales Are Declining

[TimberFarm]

I've driven most vehicles made out to work sights. The last time I drove our small sized truck out to one, we later said "never again" and got an atv with a box. Today we are using the 2nd one we've owned to access work in the field. Don't care what Samuari's or Jeeps cost…View attachment 766164

What do you do when it is raining or snowing?

Mostly to do with mass production. If there were as many tractors as cars then they would become much cheaper.
Have you looked at SXSs? I bought my 4 seater Polaris Rzr about 10 years ago new for 17k. Now they start at 27k and go over 40k.

And Kathie Wood keeps crying wolf about deflation

Dealer told me a few weeks ago they are selling more cars now, with none on their lot, than ever before. And because of the “ shortage”, they are selling at MSRP and above. I gotta believe they are under ordering to keep the deal going.

Wouldn't surprise me. However, it doesn't look like Powell's rate increases are having much effect so far either.

It's not just tractors but a general reversal...

This holiday season should be telling of where we are

Trying to get work done was near impossible and recently contractors that wouldn't give me the time if day are reaching out for any work I might have in addition to car dealers and vendors offering incentives to buy goods...

Don't know if the gravy train has ended or it is that manufacturing capacity is now had excess capacity...?

Of course it could simply be the cost of money being up via interest rates changing the market as is happening with home sales which has a Cascade effect and equities being down with predictions for more to come...

Interest rates aren’t curbing equipment & vehicle purchase desires, but they are depleting purchasers bank accounts.

I was at my dealer yesterday and we were discussing how prices have gotten completely out of hand.

Just a few prices I saw (Canada, in Canadian dollars.)

A Grand L3560 with loader and a snow blower (no extra remotes or anything else) $86,000

OOoooh, canadian bucks. I was confused. Because on the kubota USA site, the cab 3560 tractor is $38,000, the loader is $5,000 extra. Its the stupid front blower that requires "autohitch" adding another extra $20,000 to the price. Basically, the front snow blower is a stupid thing to buy and other than that, the tractor price is somewhat reasonable (though I would never pay that much either).

The Samuri reached cult off road status in some circles.
