It is puzzling. BiDi tractors at Parkside sale Saturday, one with 2400 hrs and poor tires brought $25k more than I paid for a brand new one six years ago. Good ones are scarce and no longer built, but still.
Schulte snow blower went for exactly new price; four yrs old.
I think there is an argument to be made that inflation is going to be big league soon. When exactly-a year to three years? Why crystallize that early in expensive iron?
It’s a good time to sit and watch unless you really need something and like someone else said, it needs to pay its way. Tax buying is an illusion.

Trouble buying old steel is mother nature wears out stuff you don't see and how much extra fixing time do you need. Starting to see my limits, my back gets sore just looking at projects. And how much stuff do you want to send to town to fix these days and do they have time to fix it. Gotta be good for guys retiring these days good to see that part anyways.

Definitely inflation in the fees being charged to buy stuff. The brothers seem to be in the lead and likely will bid that up too. I remember a fellow who is now part of them Ne$$ Kr$$m$$ who would play it up that he never had and also never would charge a buyers fee. Well guess what - you sold out your customers to these people

And now I get a phone call wanting to know if I want financing AFTER I have bought something. Well maybe someone needed to tell them that if you need financing you would do that BEFORE you hit the bid button.!!?? So if you’re now not getting a call about financing that $2000 auger maybe you’ll know why.

Scrap iron is crazy now. Prepared at $250 a ton locally. Been hauling myself last few days. Have been collecting since I was a teenager so there’s a couple decades worth.

Crazy times indeed 😉

Does RB have any pallets of rusty bolts and grease guns that don't work, I'm running short ?

American farmers buy our stuff at 30% less shipping isn't that bad.

Also, all the new DEF shit is so costly if you can get a 600 hp tractor with low hours 1500 and delete the DEF you have one hell of a tractor for half price.

There should be a picture of a Farmer beside the definition for "Eternal Optimist"

Moisture forecasted for parts of Sk and Mb. and everything is back in high gear.

One thing for sure no shortage of resilience.

That never ceases to amaze me. Especially at this time of year. None more so than cattle farmers. Irrational optimism at its best( or worst).

I'm generally quite optimistic. But when it comes to weather related crop prospects, I am always assuming we will get a catastrophe so I spend accordingly.

I have my hands in my pockets at this springs sales. Figuratively of course considering the online sales.
