Textron To Indefinitely Pause Production at Arctic Cat in Thief River Falls & St. Cloud

I would guess It's an incentive for John Deere to stay in the US. No farmer would be able to afford anything green if it went through.

All tariffs do is incentivize inefficient industries. JD combine costs $2M and it's mostly made in Mexico. Make it in the US and now it costs $2.2M. How is that helping the farmer?

Where are you guys finding 2 million dollar combines? The ones ive seen are half that

Ilink?

 

[lilduke]

I mean with all the interest guys would be paying might work out to 2 million lol

S&m really likes to exaggerate though....

 

[fynnigan]

Not to handy with figuring the link thing . Ag dealer has some used jd x9 s with tracks used for over a million and they are used, no header

I picked up the number from what someone else said on S&M. The story is the same at $1M though. Farmer has to pay an extra $100k for a combine, how does that help them?

 

[lilduke]

They are very pricey. Not 2 million though.
Unless you have the most decked out combine on earth

I Can find you used x9s for 750.


And thats top of the line. But s&m would have you think every green combine is 5 million.

Doesnt matter. I know what they cost.

I know nothing about the subject but Imo countries need to stop the outsourcing of manufacturing to 3rd world countries that pay peanuts to the workers. Will it lead it higher prices? Possibly. What we're doing now isn't working Imo.
Oleary talked about a union with the US, Canada and Mexico all working together with one currency, no tariffs and open borders.

Don't buy John Deere, problem solved. John Deere will restructure quickly when sales tank and bring the manufacturing back to the lower 48. Buy Case equipment, they are made in the lower 48 so they will be cheaper.

 

[lilduke]

Dont buy the giantist combine on earth for double price and problem solved. Lol

Get this bad boy

 

[Nypex1000]

You may be able to get to 2 million full retail...no farmers ever pay full retail!!

 

[fynnigan]

Holy smokes ,we should do thread on farm equipment , being that we are getting old and cranky and not sledding anymore .lol .

 

[fynnigan]

S series are not x9 s .

 

[lilduke]

Fkn things depreciate hard too. 1000 hours cost you 200g

Thats worse then a sled

I know what the x9 is every farm has one right lol

Cant find one for 2 million though

I have been talking to myself about my redline turbo build all week.

People rather talk bs about the price of combines though. So probably be a popular thread...

 

[fynnigan]

So back to the sledding thing, what is a turbo build worth these days? And what brand ?I spent some time with my son doing some wrenching before he heads south to go racing . Dang expensive to 3 get sleds ready .

Brand new kit from redline turbo in sylvan lake it is 3500 for the basic kit to 7000 for the big dog kit.

Im just doing the basic one on a t3 and some other mods. I think.for a lil bit of $$ its going beat on some newer sleds Or maybe it will.blow up first trip out lol


Only 1 way to find out.


They have kits for g4 and 5, polaris,cat,
Intercooler kits for skidoo


This guy knows what hes doing. Redline turbos rip

 

[Clode]

I know if I was buying a new sled, I would buy an 850poo and slap a redline on it. Some pretty cheap 850's out there right now.
