Oldtanker: I do not agree with any part of your discourse. The consolidation around here means I can only get maybe 2 completive bids on any new equipment I would buy. I have to travel for 50 miles to even get two.
Farmers are kind of a stupid bunch in that we have let this happen. IF a car dealer shares their BID on a new car with their other dealerships it is illegal and called price fixing. With farm equipment it is exempt from those consumer protections. So if your buying a $30K car your protected from price fixing but if you buying a $250K tractor your not.
With JD, the dealerships and JD company require the salesman to use JD program called "Sales Quote" when pricing you equipment. When the salesman finishes the quote it is stored and goes system wide among all the dealerships in the chain. So when your name is entered by any other salesman of that chain they get the original quote. Every chain I know of has the policy of that first quote is the price you will get from ALL the stores in the chain. It is kind of funny how that is not price fixing?????

Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
