No way out of it you've been warned.

We sell over a $1 million of baler belting a year. In 2021 our sales are down 35% just because of availability of the OEM product. All the domestic OEM manufacturers and foreign OEM manufacturers are quietly saying that they might only have 50-60% production in 2022 of their normal market...

We purchase hundreds of thousand tiller blades from Europe. Both Italy and Spain manufacturers are soon having to purchase on the spot market. This will effect tine replacement $1-2 each on the wholesale side. Chinese junk tines will be less effected.

Round bale belts good inventory. Disc mower parts low inventory, IE-captive parts all makes Tiller blades we have...

The sky is not falling but when a dealer goes to reorder his stock of wear parts IE: tiller blades, plow shears, cultivator points, bale spears, disc mower blades, aerator core tines, etc. He will have to raise their prices if they have not already done so. Also take into count the hydraulic...

Yes last year sisal twine went up $10 a package. Usually twine will take big drop the year following a large increase, but that is not the case now. What has happened with sisal is there is increased demand for sisal rugs. The most expensive sisal fibers from African sisal were switched from AG...

Well it finally happened, sales of compact tractors were down from the previous year. It's been a run of 6 years at least. I think the yearly sales will surpass last year. Likely winter weather and low dealer stock had more to do with the decline in sales. Demand is still good. The larger...

It seem as if Daedong is selling tractors in the USA under Daedong and Kioti. Why would Daedong do this? I doubt that Kioti dealers would warranty Deadong tractors amd likewise for Daedong. The Daedong tractors seem to be a little cheaper than the Kioti models. This is sending the USA customer...

We have noticed this fall a reduction in weight for tillers and finish mowers and other implements from some European MFG's. It seems as if the machines have less steel in them but from the pictures they look the same. But when we inspected them in person we just had to say "Where is the beef?"...

Watch for \"Free Freight\" Scamming dealers. Some dealers will use wording like "FREE FREIGHT QUOTES". The freight is not free and the quote may cost you a phone call. Always ask for a delivered price.

Due to the steel shortages and price increases some of the aftermarket and OEM suppliers have been selling tedder tines made with c70 spring steel or less. A tedder tine should be made with c85 spring steel. The tell tail sign are tines that are dip painted and not powder coated with paint. If...

There is more hay cut, raked and or baled on this day than any other day of the year.

Sales are up over a record year last year. AEM Sales Figures This does not include the Gray Market as well. It seems as if increased steel prices have pushed some into purchasing now before the prices increase. Soon we should start to see inventory arriving on the lot with higher prices.

Haylage, rye and alfalfa are being cut this week and baled now. The tedder tines and disc & drum mower blades are rolling out the door. 16,000 sisal is what 90% of our customers use for round bales, at the rate of 4 tractor trailer loads a year.

Please send me a PM if you have interest in attending a TBN Luncheon. Likely a Sat afternoon in the Knoxville, TN area. "Kelvin" is setting everything up. Regards, Mark Carter

It seem as every dealer customer of mine is looking for Tedders. We have 4 different suppliers for tedders and all of these MFG's say they are having trouble getting steel. So it looks like that what is here is about 90% of what will be sold this year. Buy now and save $$$$$$$.

Have you got the fertilizer down and the green paint polished? Or do you have some new paint this year? It is a dry Spring in the South and we are a little nervous. What's up?

The auction was in February by the credit lean holders. You may see some deals on their stuff but parts support may be suspect because not all their stuff is NOT the same other private lables made by the same MFG's.

This STEEL SURCHARGE stuff is just a way for someone to say they are going to raise prices. We actually had a USA vendor try to charge a STEEL SURCHARGE on an order placed last year. They were late delivering it, not our fault and now they want a STEEL SURCHARGE. If we as a dealer agrees to a...

This disc mower caddy will allow a compact tractor to be used since the mower's weight is carried by the cart. This will reduce the HP needed for the disc mower. Most MFG's post larger min. HP numbers because the tractor needs to have enough mass to safely carry the disc mower on 3 point hitch...

drive prices up 5-15% for import items. The domestic MFG's have already increased prices 1-5% for summer orders. I was shocked to see a 17% increase on some of next season's hay tools prices coming out of Europe. I think it will be less than that first test price the MFG's are floating out...

Rain or shine Vermeer will be baling and the CCM drum mowers will be shown in action. Those off brands like John Deere, NH, Vicon, Hesston, New Idea, Fella & Claas will be there too.

For much of the eastern half of the USA this is the heaviest hay crop on record. In our area we are 9" of rain ahead of normal. Due to the heavy growth, the hay crops are just too thick for the old worn-out machines and old technology of yester year. Some hay crops are yielding 4-5 ton per acre...

Word is that Midwest will have "Hay Tools" next season. 3 point rakes, Disc Mowers, V-Rakes, Tedders, & Disc Mower carts are some of the stuff in the works.

A CCM drum mower requires only 28 HP and a 4 wheel rake requires onlt 15 HP. A Vermeer 5400 Rebel baler requires 40 HP to make a 1200 Lbs bale.
