Will machinery prices come down eventually?

Interesting, friends a builder/joiner and still flat out. Mil has just bought a new build house, builders very keen to get it over the line. Which makes me think we could be heading for bust. Has had a lot of interest in her current house that's advertised for sale.

Been looking at used cars and very little stock.

Who knows, job redundancies will speed it up. Depends on what happens, economist aren't predicting a long dip. More a slight drop then back to growth again. Farmers generally do well in recessions though. Favourable exchange rates boost prices so I can't see much happening. I was told tyres are dropping in price so stuff might come back slightly.

Agrifac prices coming back yet?

We are not in recession despite the BBC want it to be, wasnt the last quarter revised upwards to small growth and I think its 3 quarters in a row down to be recession.

All I can say is 18mnths ago I was asking on fb groups what 8t machines were about and there wasn't much, a few offering private sales.

Recently when I asked I got several messages from dealers offering machines, one or two offering a "good deal". Or "its advertised for 50k but can probably help you out a bit"

No idea. What you after?

Sorry, I meant to quote robt!

Was just winding him up! Agrifacs out of my league.

Was told recently that they "will be giving diggers away" in a couple of years time, because kit on HS2 has to be less than 4 yrs old.
I called BS on that, but are there any supporting facts in the story?

I've heard similar, everything had to have euro ? Compliant engines.

Maybe by 5% as stock increases and we can get a better deal, but not the 20% some people for some reason expect, it's just not going to happen.

Nothing can be definite though. If farmers stop buying because BPS has gone then either machinery prices will drop or they’ll walk away from the U.K. market.
Todays ELMS announcement is just more waffle because yes there’s some new interesting options in it but everybody needs to remember implementing those options cost money.
It’s not like BPS which is just paid irrelevant of anything as a means to control food prices.

I think without any form of subsidy the U.K. machinery market will shrink for new equipment as manufacturers stop exporting to us. Usedvalues will hold up due to reduced new supply.

Others will take their place, that's business

If there’s no quantity of buyers nobody will take their place.

Yes. As the pound levels up, prices will settle.
