Tractor pricing

[NewToy]

Just wondering how the sinking dollar is impacting you tractor dealers? The dollar going down almost daily has to be hurting you guys on parts, etc. I suppose the MSRP on the tractors will be doing nothing but going up and up.

I just ordered a mid size ag tractor, Case-IH Maxuum 125 with FEL on 3/31/08. Made in England. On 4/1/08 the surcharge price went up 3%. Tractor and FEL was about $68,000. Saved 2K by ordering one day earlier with 0% 48 month financing. Weak dollar? Increasing shipping costs?
Dealer said Rhino just added about $400 to price of a bat wing mower with another surcharge.

I suppose these "surcharges" will be more and more a factor. Good for you saving the 2K by pulling the trigger a little early. Weak $$, shipping are very real expenses that we as consumers will have to pay. Take the 2K and invest it wisely, Vegas maybe?
