THESE PRICES MAKE ME WANNA CRY! I MISS THE GOOD OL DAYS! ?
Folks at the end of this video we're Going to announce our snow Pusher winner From our January giveaway so stick Around for that and soon we're going to Have a new contest that you can enter so Subscribe to be notified I'm going to Talk about money today folks and money In a few different senses of the word You know one Let's take a look back and see how Inflation has changed tractor prices Over the last three years I did a video About three years ago exactly right Before the pandemic started with this is The slowest time of year to sell Tractors and so I ran a sale discounted Some prices had some fun with it there Was some crazy good deals I mean they Were crazy good deals back then and just To think how much prices have gone up in The last three years I'm curious we'll Take a look at these but let us know if You bought a tractor recently how much Did you pay for the same or a similar Setup then I want to talk to you about Zero percent financing as well there's Sometimes catches or sometimes not and It it oftentimes sounds too good to be True but it does rain in a lot of folks Back when I sold a lot of tractors that Was I think my main competition was do I As a customer do I buy this used tractor You know at a at either paying all cash Or at a higher interest rate for used
Equipment because they don't offer zero Percent for used equipment or do I go John Deere or Kubota whoever and get Zero percent financing on my new tractor Okay so we'll start off with a zero Percent we're going to talk about the Tractors take a quick look back here at At seeing how crazy good these deals Were then I want to follow up at the end With how a traditional zero percent Financing works with most tractor Dealerships so I just started offering Zero percent financing and the true Sense of the word zero percent APR Financing and of course there's always Qualifications you still have to be Credit worthy in order to qualify for That and the the term length for zero Percent financing is going to be Dependent on the dollar amount that you Buy so if you buy a higher dollar amount Then you're going to qualify for a Longer zero percent term so I don't Offer that on tractors I don't sell Tractors anymore but I do sell tractor Attachments and you know I kind of Transition I made a whole video about This why I got out of the tractor game And and some of that's going to be Related to when we talk talk about these Used tractor prices in just a minute but It's just got it got out of control with Inflation and I I couldn't reliably Determine how much a used tractor should
Sell for or how much I should buy one For to resell but with attachments They're all brand new okay so it's a Little bit Um more Baseline there with the accurate Prices of what they should sell for It's a lot larger market as well right I Mean with selling used tractors that's a It's a fraction of that market but if You sell attachments then you're opening It up to not just the folks looking for A tractor now but all those folks that Have a tractor already so my zero Percent financing I feel like is about As as true to what that can be in the Real sense of the word there's not Hidden fees out there and when you go to Apply for some process it's going to Tell you what your payment's going to be It's going to show you if you're paying Interest or not right because if you're Not credit worthy then there's going to Be an option for interest on that or if It's a really low price point on Something then there is interest charge There so how this works is it's a higher Fee taken from my earnings right so if I Sell you something they're taking a Higher percentage from from what they're Going to pay out to me and they're going To keep that for themselves to Recuperate that zero percent interest And so I'm trying this out as a as kind Of a trial period it's not right now
It's not going to be permanent I'm going To see how it works I need to see if It's worthwhile you know if you can if It generates more sales you know that's That's the idea right is if I can get More sales kind of offsets that higher Fee that I'm being charged versus Offering an interest-bearing loan to you Guys which I'm charged a lower fee so I'm going to tell you how this varies From the traditional like tractor Dealerships zero percent financing a Little bit later on but now let's take a Look back at those tractor prices from Three years ago I'm curious to see what You guys think if you're shocked by just How cheap they were back then compared To what they might be now we're proud to Be sponsored by rim guard Solutions a Liquid ballast weight it goes right Inside your tires completely hidden We're big on safety on this channel These tractors are just too light and Tippy right out of the factory not only Is it going to help with safety keeping Those rear tires planted on the ground It helps with loader efficient agency And traction too the benefits of rim Guard include being the heaviest All-natural liquid ballast weight on the Market it's not going to corrode your Rims like the old calcium chloride it's Not going to freeze and it's available At over a thousand dealers Nationwide

Appliance World the vehicle World Whatever it is the number world that Does fluctuate a little bit I suppose I'm told they're going back up though But the point is is that things just Don't get cheaper over time right just Like your dad or your granddad used to Pay nickel for a loaf of bread you know That's that those days are long gone It's not coming back and I think This helps kind of Paint the picture of I'm saving for a Tractor I just need a couple more years Right well you wait a couple more years You're going to be saving more and more Money that you have to save up to buy And afford that tractor because those Prices are going to keep going up and so You can look at this In a different way what inflation really Means is that your dollar is going to be Worth less tomorrow than it's going to Be worth today and You got to be careful with with how you Use your money but if you can borrow at Zero percent on somebody else's dime Like on John Deere's dime or kubota's Dime whoever else at today's value Well That could work to your advantage you Know so What this really shows is how prices Just keep going up and the last few
Years they did certainly accelerate But inflation constantly happens it's so Rare to have deflation going going the Opposite direction that you just really Can't count tonight but you can't Bank On prices going up I'm still getting Price increases from suppliers but it's More of the just the typical annual Price increase that's always coming into Play versus three or four price Increases in one calendar year which we Saw during the pandemic but this kind of Ties into maybe your planning and and Thinking about buying a tractor in the Next year or two and you're saving up Money maybe you want to pay cash for it In a year or two down the road you're Gonna have to save up that much more Cash because it's going to cost more at That point and is there a benefit to Buying at zero percent Now versus using Your own cash because at this point you Can buy now while it's cheaper than it Is in a couple years and you're also not Using your cash you're using somebody Else's cash there are a couple catches That come along with this it's more Complex than that and and you know I'm Not your Financial Consultant so I'm Just giving an opinion here on how I Kind of go through the process myself When I'm buying a new piece of equipment Like this JCB like that Ranger Like any of the tractors that you see
Around here that I use and so you'll see This on Forum sometimes uh folks are Shopping around for tractor prices and I Always encourage you if you're going to John Deere shop the John Deere dealers Not just one because you're going to be Surprised at how much pricing can vary Same thing if it's Kubota same thing if It's whoever else you're you're talking To but get Multiple numbers so you can see what the Field is kind of working with out there But you're also going to see differences In the the terms of financing okay and And as an example I'll have somebody Send me Um their price that they can get for Zero percent financing for 60 months or Zero percent financing for 72 months or 84 months whatever it is and it's still Zero percent but somehow the machine Price went higher for the longer term And so those dealers are just building In Interest in a way into the the price of The machine right and maybe they're not Taking as many discounts at the end of The day it's all coming down to the Dealer has to make a certain amount of Money same thing with me right Everything comes down to you got to make Profit or you're not going to be in Business but Just go in there as a
An educated consumer knowing the game That's being played right that don't Have the the wool pulled over your eyes Know that if you're paying a higher Price for a longer term that means You're just paying your interest Kind of built into the price of the Tractor and it's not showing up as a Separate line item on your monthly bill You know and I've mentioned my buddy Down the road Dave he's just recently Bought a Kubota l6060 beautiful tractor His plan originally was to just use his Cash and pay for the tractor but the Zero percent financing not having to use 60 70 grand whatever it is out of his Own pocket right now Let Kubota handle that and just pay it Off chunk at a time I did that when I Bought a 30 46r and in fact when I Bought that I sold it a couple years Later and I lost I don't know like one Or two thousand dollars that was it After having it for a year or two and That's pre-pandemic okay and that's just Because of what inflation does over time It's going to help these tractors hold Their value and so while you are paying That debt down The tractor is not going down at the Same rate right so you pay a thirty Thousand dollar loan down to fifteen Thousand your tractors Most likely unless you did something
Crazy to it can be worth way more than 15 grand so you know you got to Bear all The stuff in mind work the numbers see What makes sense to you but There's a lot of folks out there buying A machine for the first time maybe Getting a loan for the first time and They don't know any better so you got to Give them the information from somebody Who I don't have a stake in that game I Don't you know I just want you to know I've done it myself a lot of you guys Watching have done it too so if there's Another angle to think about then help Them out and leave a comment with what They should be thinking about but on That note I do sell tractor attachments So when you buy that tractor think about Us all right give us a shot we sell all Sorts of stuff for the front end loaders And the three-point hitch we ship all Over the country you can get rewards you Can get at least right now that zero Percent APR financing for qualify buyers But we have a lot of good stuff so Goodworktractors.com and if you enjoyed Today's video we want you to tag along See what's going on around the business Around my shop Hit that subscribe button down below I Want to thank you for taking time out of Your day to stop by and until next time Stay safe we'll see you soon alrighty Folks and so the winner of the snow
