A couple things are happening here the older folks are dying off or going into homes which means 1) one less buyer and 2) their tractors are forced onto the market. So it gives the market a double whammy. I think the old tractor market was over inflated anyway. The second thing is that the economy never returned to where it was before 2008.

It is nice to see old tractors back down to a price where you can afford to buy and work them again. Also I cant help but to think if the inflated cost of used tractors drove up sales of new ones. Especialy when easy financing is taken into account.
