Several things are driving the sales of new John Deere stuff.
The biggest reason is the 0% interest rates on some tractors. Another is Good marketing.
With a reputation that sells itself,(I am not commenting on their "living up to the reputation")Their products are keeping them in the lead, as far as market share is concerned.
All those compact tractors, lawn mowers, gators, and construction equipment they sell, keep the rest of the company (AG EQUIP) solvent.
I doubt that they could continue to sell tractors and balers, combines and planters, and the rest of the line, on the limited scale that they sell nowadays, without the infusion of cash that the "consumer products" provide.
And as you say, all those "yuppies with horses" fuel the fire that keeps us warm.
I sell more used tractors and impliments becouse of all the "week-end farmers". They keep the prices inflated. This puts money in my pocket. When I go to buy something for the farm, it takes money out of the same pocket. I am my own worst enemy!
This "hobby/profession" is getting more complicated every day. It takes a creative mind, and some old fashioned hard work to make it. Some things never change.
