I think it depends 99% on the dealer and how bad they want to do the deal. You are aware that OEM pricing to dealers is different for dealers depending on their volume? My former NH dealer, before he quit told me that he could go to a major dealer in Ontario and buy a new tractor outright from them cheaper than he could buy FROM NewHolland through his normal channels as a dealer... so there are inequalities in the network right from the start. I doubt Deere handles their dealers much, if any differently. That's how they shut down dealers. Price them out of business. So no... I don't buy the notion that Deere is automatically more expensive. I know of Deere's that are on farms around here because they were cheaper and they wouldn't be there if they wern't cheaper... I also buy enough parts from both Deere and NH to not believe the stories about deere pricing. Some things from Deere I actually find VERY reasonable. It more often than not is the result of a design they haven't changed in 2 generations... so it kinda gives them reduced development costs and reduced inventory costs. Other things I buy from Deere I find rediculous. I find that both Deere and NH have some of both...
Cat is another. Some things are foolish. Some things that you'd think would be expensive are quite cheap. I've bought Cat injectors for 100 bucks. Not out of line... and probably cheaper than a CAV injector. Exhaust parts are another story... I also got a couple of axle lock tabs from Cat for a Ford axle that were 2 bucks more than NH... but Cat had them on the shelf and I didn't pay any freight, so in that sense were cheaper by about 10%. Like everything else today, you just have to shop around...
