Never in my years have I seen things so upside down. Thank goodness I bought my tractor when I did. Otherwise I most likely couldnt afford to buy now, if you could find one.

Let’s hope things do not become worse than we have seen in the past 18 months from Covid complications. We have all had negative experience from Covid times. Now we need to work ourselves back some normal not sure what that is but we need to get to it soon. Looks like Xmas might be lean season on gifts based on current supply issues. May be year of good old family joy of being together without illness. I would be grateful for calmness and peace for all of us, we need it.

So for posterity I made a table of prices for RK tractors with loader. The nice thing is they the publish the prices up front. No haggle or dealer "Market adjusttment" like I see on trucks. Come back here next year to see the change.

The TYM version of this tractor has gone up 3 grand in the last two years. Not bad considering a comparable John Deere would cost 18,000 more. I am leary of the parts availability but the savings are hard to overlook.

That was actually one of my decision points on ordering an RK37HC - if the go belly up I can hopefully still get parts and service from TYM. But they have been around 4 years so I think they may be here to stay a while.

I wouldn't count on TYM doing anything for a RK customer. Research some lf the Cabelas tractor threads.

Why buy a tractor brand where you are worried that the company might go belly up?

An RK 55 has gone up $5K since it was introduced? That is freaking ridiculous.
Good thing I got a $10,000 raise this year with another one coming next year! :cool: And people like to bad mouth unions...

The value of U.S. dollar has tanked due to current policies of large amounts of deficit spending.
The price of steel sky-rocketed 3 years ago due to tariffs, and hasn’t decreased since.

Which previous policies ? Surely not the ones that had gas at 1.oo a gal and food prices lower than ever. People actually got there lazy asses out of bed and went to work.
Umm. Remember the steel tariffs? And $1 gas had nothing to do with government policies; it was due to over supply and weak demand during the peak of the Covid shutdown.

Over the past decade or so the Us dollar has pretty much held its own.
Maybe you don't go to the grocery store, lumber yard or check out prices of tractors. Real world experience and common sense shows that a dollar will only buy about 70% of what it would a couple of years ago.

I’m certainly charging more for the beehives I build. Lumber is 2-3x as expensive as it as. I also hedge a little against further increases, because 2022 isn’t being made to sound much better. Luckily it’s a side gig, and being an airline pilot these days seems to be in demand. We will see how our negotiations turn out, being in this position.

Sorry, misunderstanding. Yes, prices are up. I should have said "the value of the dollar against foreign currencies.." Stuff costs more, but it's not, in general, a result of dollar vs. foreign currencies, which is really quite remarkable because of the huge deficit spending increases over the past five years.
One clear example is the insane run-up of lumber prices. That's mostly an in internal situation and has little or nothing to do with dollar vs. Euro, Yen, whatever..

Food for thought...

Year end gold prices;

2016 - $1151
2017 - $1296
2018 - $1281
2019 - $1524
2020 - $1895
2021 - $1828
Now - $1817

Hope the data is correct.

Ok, I was talking about what a dollar will buy now vs 2 years ago(value of the dollar). I don't care about pesos, yens or euros. I don't care about the price of tea in China.

Not sure about other areas but the RK's are still selling here in central FL. A few weeks back I was at RK getting horse feed and there wasn't a single RK55 or 37 on the lot. I asked the tractor guy that I deal with and he said that he had several on order some of which were already spoken for but he was having an issue getting them. Yesterday I was back there and there were 4 RK37's on the lot and 3 had sold signs on them. Didn't see any RK55's so not sure if they didn't get any or if they had already been purchased. At least sales seem to be going well around here. Glad to see that.

Same around here. I've been by 3 RKs recently and they have between 0-2 tractors on the lot.
