Price Increases For Tractors and Implements - Messick's Video - 6/28/2018

[big bubba]

Just wondering.....who will get the extra money you pay and what will it be used for?

campaign finances for GOP reelection '18 & '20.

after all, how much taxpayer funds spent on trump GOP campaign rallies already? just a thought, hope this doesn't get politically ugly.
hey, we all are Americans, & hope to see the time again when we can reasonably have a 2 party debate w/o vitriol. respectfully, bb

I just think before we are on board with any tariffs, we should follow the money. :2cents:

Have no idea.

Tariffs are an additional federal tax on the consumer.

Price increases for new tractors will inevitably mean price increases for nice used ones. ..if you own one now.. it's gaining value in your barn as we type.

I will gladly pay slightly more for a tractor if it will put China in there place

I visited two hardware stores Saturday wanting a small adjustable wrench. Each had their own label and at least one had Cresent...I left refusing to buy a China made wrench. If I had to have it would have but it was a want in that size so I passed.

Was in Lowes Friday night and the gentleman in tools said he had been told the Craftsman label is to be brought back to made in USA. No idea if he is correct.

But if you don’t yet have a barn, the one you want to build will be higher in cost.

Better get a second job to pay for the steel tariffs.

All interest rates have gone up, which mean the yields on debt instruments have gone up too. All this independent from tariffs and are due to the booming economy.

The financing cost to manufacturers have gone up because all the free money in the economy is gone, as it should be in a very healthy economy...

Can't blame that on the tariffs...

Simple way to ensure this...Only make political comments and posts in the Friendly Politics forum and not in other forums, like the Buying/Pricing/Comparisons forum.
