[QUOTE="How much, post: 4686622, member: 7392"] Not defending the prices in any way but there are few things would effect this price aside from the manufactures profiteering firstly the euro exchange rate has moved significantly back in favour of the £ so your pound now buys much more post Brexit vote then it did immediately after brexit vote. That may well be a short term thing , so maybe the tractor manufactures are not looking to adjust there prices to reflect that but pricing the exchange rate at today's prices would make a big difference. When it was cheaper to buy right hand drive cars in Europe and import them back to the uk in the late 90's i bought a Audi in the Nederlands it was much cheaper and on the face of it Audi where robbing the UK buyers but when you spoke to the dealer over there the price of the car on the road in the Nederlands was actually significantly more than the UK , the reason it was cheaper was i was not registering it there Audi had priced the car cheaper to offset the very high registration cost that where loaded with some sort of end of life recycling cost that i did not pay. Audi had changed there cost to Benifit the local market over there , the press in the UK made it look like we where being shafted but the real story was different to what the headline suggested so local economics can effect prices in a big way and it may be that UK farmers can get tax relief on these purchases where perhaps there German counterparts can not. As a side issue would you be able to get enhanced capital allowance on a secondhand tractor vs new one ? [/QUOTE]
