Dealers local to me , tend to send , older stuff to consignment auctions, many miles away. And yes they end up getting much less than they would have sold them to you for. Their only interest is really in selling new equipment, sure they take in trades to facilitate a sale, and if they can flip it for more than they have in any piece of equipment, great. Problems start when folks looking for bargains , buy older equipment, and expect it to work as new, and want the dealer to warranty some 25 year old baler that they said was good condition. In truth , everyone knows that a 25 year old baler was traded in on a new one because of one reason, it was worn out. Dealers would be just as happy not taking trades , and just selling new equipment. And leaving you to resell your old stuff the best you can. If you try to price a new piece of equipment, say a tractor at one dealer, with no trade . Then go down the road to another dealership with the same line of equipment, wanting to buy the same tractor with a tired old tractor to trade in as part of your payment. You will find the tractor with the trade will look like it cost more, before deducting your trade allowance. And if they allow you $5000.00 on paper for your 45 year old IH tractor, they can't very well roll it out into the front line of their used equipment for half what they allowed you for it , you may become suspicious that your trade value was indeed , only the salesman playing with numbers.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
