National Farm Machinery Show

Re: National Farm Machinery Show

I made to the show on Saturday morning and was amazed at the number of people. We were 20-30 minutes finding a parking spot. The show was definately worth the wait. I did see three hay bailers for compact tractors. One 40 pound round bailer was $11,200 with a sold sign and one small square bailer for $18,500. I do not remember the price of the second round bailer, I was dazed by then.

Glenn1,

I got there Saturday about 8:30AM, came in Gate 3 and parked pretty close to the door. Too bad they didn't open until 9AM...

I've been lusting over a tree shear for about a year (see attachment) but was too stubborn to pay full list price plus freight directly to the manufacturer since they have no dealer here. Well, that manufacturer was at the show and had a show special where they pay the freight and the price had not increased from last year. Went ahead and took the plunge.

Wasn't so lucky with the Anbo root grapple. Last year the 66 inch was $2650 with free freight. This year it was around $3000 and we didn't get far enough to discuss freight. The rep said that 400 steel is in short supply because of the military using it for armor plating.

I got there about 9:15 Saturday Morning and thoroughly enjoyed all I saw.

The chromed out Dixie Chopper was great.
