NH 2% from 1st Oct. If you are going to buy, do it now if you can.
believe what you want. but they are going up on 1st Oct. If a salesman has to use that every time he sells to you, I'd question why he has to say it and whether it's worth dealing with him. Kuhn have also just gone up, same with Lynx engineering and Opico, Can-Am etc... Most of them have a autumn price rise. I can't force anyone into buying, they either will or won't.

@Chae1 I don't bother with that, just lay out the facts its then up to you as a customer to decide, I can't force anyone and why should I? I've gone back to people in the past after a price rise and said I can't honor it and had to walk away. If I can't do it I can't do it simple as that.

Wasn't saying I didn't believe you in fact I completely get it. What I was getting at is that there seems to be a price increase around the corner all the time!

Your timing was impeccable though:p

Just had price to change new holland t7 170 for a 210 paid 52 k for 170 3 years ago been offered 50 for it now new holland wants 25 to charge claas want £32 k to change for 650 claas and fent want 67 k to change for a fent 720 tractor prices have gone mad ordered the 210 2018 model with new mother regs we run 4 new hollands keep for 4 years never put tyres on them and never have any repair bills it suits us but you got to keep changing otherwise the gap get to big find new holland good to buy and you will always sell one John deer like for like are always a lot more to buy new but when you sell them never no more in money than the new holland

How many hours had new Holland you traded in done?

If you think a second hand new Holland and JD are worth similar money at trade in time you are wrong. JD are worth more than equivalent nh. That's coming from someone with 2 nh tractors, no jd.
 
Was meaning the John deer would be say 15 k more then new holland when new but not 15 k more than the new holland after 4 years we put about 4 / 5000 hours on them but they are like new when we px them

but that is not comparing like for like 160hp ford against a 200hp fendt?

There lies your problem, who are you going to employ to drive them old bone shakers? Some eastern Europeans might be up for the job(y)

I'd rather drive a 590 if it meant I had a better wage!

I think this is where farming has gone mad.
20 years ago 100-125 hp tractors were doing all the heavy work ie mowing, foragers etc.
Now a classic jd3650 or ford7810 is considered too small for anything!

Was going to cost me £99,000 to change to a 724
Was that 724 full spec? because guidance is a 8k extra, extra spools, top end seat, etc etc, the difference between power version and the profi plus and different paint jobs you could pay 25k extra for the same tractor, just for having all the toys on it, a fendt rep said to me once and i quote"is it an extra you need, or do you actually just want it". o_O
