New Tractor Sales Are Declining

My grandpa said the same thing back in the 1980s. Complaining that his dollar didn’t buy much anymore.

Pretty soon, you'll get dollars on a roll. like toilet paper and it will take a roll to buy a loaf of bread...

Back in the 80's cars cost 3500 bucks, today, 90 thousand.. Economy of scale with worthless money.

Digital credits so they don't have to incur the cost of paper and ink.

$90K? Not too many people are buying Lamborghini or Range Rovers. Good cars can be bought in the $30-40K range. My income has increased by 10Xs since the 80s, so pretty comparable affordability.

2021 brother bought brand new well equipped Nissan Rouge out the door for 24k

Dealer was simply trying to unload in the middle of pandemic and these cars were ordered by car rental company that no longer had business ..

Well, Harley sales peaked in 2006, then fell. Then it peaked in 2014/16, then fell. Different times, different products. It is the way is goes. I really wonder if the young generations will think owning tractors are a priority unless they are used for food production.

Where can I get one of these 90k lambos? You're off by about $200,000. These days you can very easily get a farm/work worthy pickup truck to 90k OTD.
