I think people also look @ how much it is going to cost them per payment and buy accordingly.
We know a quality built cub or equivalent Deere 40 years ago cost in today's dollars.,
And we also know the "honey holes" of cubs/Deers tend to be clustered near good industrial jobs that once were 40 years ago, and most good union jobs in
heavy manufacturing.
Things are not the same today as we know, the enviro rules and inexpensive labor drove them off shore to other countries.
it is a different world, like it or not.
Has the worm turned? it remains to be seen in time to come.
Just my take.
