    If you're willing to play the game you can get some good deals. JD is notorious for using predatory leasing to hook you but if you're smart and don't roll them until the end of the term you can't get some cheap equipment. If you fall for their short roll game and get into negative eauity they got you for good.

      Depends how much is allowed for trades.
      22% multi discount goes a long way for the guys trading the entire yard every year.

        22 percent on 50 percent overpriced equipment isn't a deal.

        Too many guys think they are getting a deal. They should have never been given the family cheque book.

            Need more motivated sellers than motivated buyers. But the manufacturers are smart enough to choke off production and supply and not give up any perceived price gains!!!

              Wonder why they don't price JD, Case etc against Belarus like grain markets do our high quality WHT.

                The LOWEST grain price is the LAW, where ever on earth that may be, IE competitive pricing, HATE that term, just means they all agreed to charge X amount!

                Bought a air seeder and a sprayer so far... get in line the $$$iron will be all gone! Oh ya Fifth wheel camper
                NOT farm IRON, me time!

                Do all Jay Dee Ag Tech stores have 30 STS 690's and 20 green Macdons like Humboldt? Lots of XXXR 4wd's too!

                    I don't run on generation money. But if I did I certainly wouldn't waste it.

                    Million dollar equipment worth half in 3 years.

                    Generation money wasn't built being stupid.

                    Etc etc. Wasn't meant to be offensive....it's just fact.

                      The older generation saved money..But no where near the amount that is required to buy this new stuff..Old money all gone..Young, large farms mostly living on borrowed dollars, or investors dollars..
                      One comment was that 1 large farmer doesn't own the shorts he is wearing...How many times can 1 guy go broke?
