Implement price increase in the UK.

I have been recently looking at purchasing some new seedbed prep tools here in the US and I am seeing a 40% - 45% increase in prices over last year for new equipment and new machines that no one has in stock for the sizes that I am looking for.

Everything has to be ordered now for Feb/March delivery. Used equipment on its last legs is trading very high now as well.

Are you folks seeing the same in the UK/Europe?

For example: A Maschio Drago DC 2500 power harrow has a sales price of £12,000.00 without any add-ons or freight. Those are silly prices to me. Is this inflation, a surcharge cost of Covid or something else?
