Fuel prices..... People have far less "expendable cash" now. I've noticed that stuff still sells for the same price, just doesn't sell as quick.

I do quite a bit of custom work during the summer. That's been down this year (so far) Several folks that have hired us to do bush hogging for years, are just letting it grow this year. My rates went up because of expenses, so they aren't having their ground mowed.

People that NEED a certain tractor will still buy.... Those who just WANT that tractor are thinking twice about forking out the cash now.

One more thing effecting USED tractor sales is the deals being made on NEW smaller tractors by most all the brands. In order to keep them moving, you can get great financing on new stuff. That, in effect, brings the price down for some buyers.

Bottom line.... If fuel prices would suddenly drop back to $1 gallon, things would open back up overnight... That just won't happen though.............
