PRICED OUTTA SIGHT...

And another thing. The Left Wing is talking about supporting the NRA and the second amendment more. Why? Because it's being considered classifying all "Trans" as having a psychotic deficiency limiting their right to own weapons. I laughed so hard I almost wet myself.

They're only doing it to fight common sense, as usual.

Well heck.. I'm just glad we didn't stray too far from talking about the price of Mahindras.

Anyone have data on how tariffs have actually affected Mahindra prices?

The only (sort of) reference point I have is from the least expensive Mahindra tractor, the 1120 SCUT and this was in August 2025.

With FEL, 54"MMM, setup, delivery and 8.75% PR or NY sales tax, the dealer quoted me ~$19850 all-in with zero willingness to go lower.

The cutter is around 3k all by itself which I think rediculous.
If you look at sales tax say on a 20k purchase in your state, that’s an additional $1750
In my state it would be$1400 and there’s no leeway with that.
But the cutter and your sales tax is adding another almost 5 grand to the machine.
Prices have gone up and our margins have gotten smaller.

I have no demonstrable data I can share but I can tell you as per notification from Mahindra the $24995 tractor will be closer to $27000 shortly

The manufacturer or importer is raising prices?

I do not know.
This notification came from Mahindra.
Would be interesting to see if JD with their 5000 series made in India is experiencing similar circumstances

I'd imagine Solis must be getting hit similarly.

This is why I find some of the media reporting wrong…

A local reporter ran a story saying if the 100% tariff goes into effect the cost to the consumer will double.

[[[[[It seems the reporter failed to account that in normal transactions there is also a markup above the product cost and this is after tariff]]]]]

If tariffs lower my income and or property tax I am for tariffs.

I have a lot of disgression on what I buy but not so much when it come to say property tax other than foregoing ownership…

Taxes of all shades and variety are my biggest expense.

Some of the wait staff at the local sports bar are very happy about the change to tip income.

Maybe I fix up that old car or tractor or look for second hand instead of buying new imported?

I understand. Fine. Yet I am seeing sudden increases up to 50% on a number of Surplus Center products that had been stable for years. [[ ?? ]]
