You would think for half a mill they could at least put the exhaust tip on in the right direction.

Most of the farmers that buy these know how to get farm subsidies from good old Uncle Sam. The big farm by us is run by two brothers. One does all the labor if the fields the other is always in Raleigh on DC. The lease their equipment every year from JD, over $8 mil

If a farmer leases a new tractor for one year, and it's then turned in, it's considered used. That used tractor can then be sent overseas and sold as a used tractor and avoid paying tariffs. That's why so many farmers have new tractors every year, companies like John Deere use the short-term lease program to make money on overseas deals by avoiding tariffs on used equipment.

That is the correct way, harder to see what's coming out if it were turned the other way.

I do work for 2 farmers with machines like that. One is a Case Stieger that is just like the deere and the other is a deere with one continuous track on either side and does not articulate like the pictured one [or the case] does. Both are impressive machines and VERY comfortable to run. Cup holders? ya how about GPS guided speed and steering and all the comforts of home! CJ

That beats the heck out of the Farmall H and M we used for corn years ago. I wonder if it has the new 16" screens?

How is that any different than guys buying $70000 bass boats for pleasure. Most aint making money fishing either.

I'm amazed that farmers make money with purchases like that.
