    Another combine parts story

    Putting a new feeder chain in my CR 9070. Has over 1100 threshing hours so it needs the top sprockets replaced. Going to replace top shaft bearings as well. Heavy bearing, double row ball bearing. Much to my amazement skf Japanese made bearing but 300 dollars. I said pardon! Went to my favourite local bearing shop and he could get the skf bearing but there is none to be had. So he checks another supplier, German made bearing ***(actual name not being intolerant). He can get me this bearing for 58.92, I almost fell over. How the f#^k does CNH justify selling a bearing I can get for 60 dollars for 300? Some days I am surprised my blood pressure isn't throught the roof! On the plus side on my old CR 960 the top shaft bearings were made in China!

      Always seems to be huge discrepancy in prices when dealing with bearings......especially with any CNH or other Ag companies markup.

                  I have found a $400 difference in the same parts between two different Case dealerships in the past.

                                      We make a trip to the states every year. We make one big order for poly skid plates, knives, sections and other wear items. This year saved over 3,000 Can on a 3,500 order.

                                      Get it shipped to Havre and my brother picks it up when camping at Cypress hills.

                                      Guards on JD flex are $36 Cdn at the dealer. $14.99 usd in states.

                                      Small poly 11.99 usd vs 41 cdn. Full 35ft knife no head. 899 usd and about 2100 Cdn.

                                      Flipping ripoff
