Green and Red/Blue have been demanding mega-stores and other genius things from dealers (Do you think a dealer needs a "customer lounge"?), especially in the last 5-10 years, pushing solvent and sensible dealers out to pave the way for the Titan mega-chains of the world. It's always supposed to be for the betterment of the customer, but it seldom works out that way. Perhaps finally what has been done onto the customer will be done to the manufacturer.
Equipment mfr.'s are also surely seeing that new iron isn't going to be moving out the door nearly as fast anytime in the forseeable future as it was in the last couple of years. They're going to try and protect their stock price somehow. Bumping up parts pricing will only make up some of the difference.
Rumor has it CNH is going to order dealers to stock Vaseline. They will put a CNH part number on it and retail it at $32 a jar. If the parts price increase is true, you'll need it, and because it's an OE product, it's gotta be good.
