Who’s buying gear ?

[Rowland]

Just off the phone with a friend of mine who is Finance director for a large agricultural machinery group.
He says he couldn’t keep up with getting documents done for people buying tractors and gear before the end of the financial year .

Salesman's bullpoo maybe.
Look at the threads on here....
Milk boys worried
Spud boys worried
Arable boys haven't planted anything, and what has been planted has been ravaged by monsoon followed by drought.
Cattle and sheep men haven't made money since 1969. So they tell me when it comes to buying straw anyway...

Must be contractors buying then...

Plus the fact dealers have been shut, and folks haven't left the farm for 2 weeks.

Contractors never stop spending money

 

[Cab-over Pete]

This one does.

Absolutely no spending plans here, worst year we’ve had for over twenty years. Not even doing improvements to existing kit.

 

[Wombat]

We've bought some bits, if it's needed and you can pay for it then we have decided to go for it.

 

[TripleSix]

I've just bought 21 bales of hay...

I'm in the process of buying a new tractor at the moment. Haven't done a deal yet but will in next couple of weeks. Keep getting told to hold off because prices are coming back. So haven't received any actual quotes yet.

Has that ever been heard before?
It’s usually there’s a price rise end of the week/month.

 

[Farmer_Joe]

not me and no plans too!

from my perspective you would have to be a very brave man to do so, why not wait 12 months just to see how everything pans out...

Fastrac?

Fastrac?

No another tractor for guy that works for us. Be a t7 190 or 210 probably. Pricing a 6155m too but never heard from them again.

They've been rising for too long. Been so many threads about it on here. Think its finally hit home and hopefully tide turning.

I was told there coming back in January and to hold off, before any of this happened.
