From my experience with CNH they don't. I'd a 10k repair just out of warranty and they only offered 1k. Machine fully dealer serviced from new, just over 3k hours.
I’m only a pauper livestock man but that machine would have gone to moment the repair was complete and I would have gone to another colour/dealer, that’s extremely poor show with them hours/dealer history.

Good for people/businesses if they can afford new, but it's got past that stage for me.

Got price on well specced valtra 235 with 6k hr warranty and servicing this week and price started with a 2.

Manufacturers are soon going to find people are going to stop buying.

I'm out.

That can’t be right? A Deere would be many 10’s of thousands cheaper?

Haven't priced one yet. Definitely will.

It's just huge price increases. I could buy the demonstrator valtra 195 I had for 130k. Smaller model, same spec, chassis, no warranty, service pack and remap it. Have over 70k in pocket.

I don't understand how a new tractor which is basically exactly the same is 200K? Platinum wheels I guess?
I'm not justifying it as can't afford it. 35k of it is warranty, servicing and rtk subscription.

The wheels are just standard white!

It's simply price rises that has put the prices from old models to newer ones such a huge jump.

It's first quote I have had so don't know if it's out of line with other manufacturers.

If you cant afford a new tractor with the size of mixed farm your running with a bit of contracting through in theres little hope for the rest of us

Have just been through a similar exercise , absolute madness.
Priced everything, the outcome was not what I expected.
Anything in stock/ on its way with a sensible dealer that wants your business is hard to stomach but new orders are beyond the realms of my understanding.
Tractor PCP or similar seams to be the dealers answer but that's not me.

Totally agree with your comments… will it change when people stop buying? Will farmers stop buying? It’s hard to see manufacturers drop their prices significantly.. all the questions and I don’t have the answers..
