Combines AGCO parts prices upIJ

this is a very low n sale item, why are you needing so manyIJ Price is $167 list. It is a four bolt block adaptor on the rear with machined ports and threaded passages. Actually in the last few years since we got a really commonsense guy over parts, they issue a monthly price reduction bulletin. Some parts do go up, AGCO did not bulid this item, it is purchased. We can check and see for ya.

I think that is the problem with a lot of there parts, they are buying from outside sources. this is going to kill sales of new and used Agco machinery when they are known with over priced parts. Maybe they could start trading repair parts on the CBOT ,would be rock bottom prices in 30 days!!!!!! Sure works for grain.

Because you need it - supply and demand.

And being the astute businessman that you are, you bought several and turned them for a tidy profit.

Aint that the truth augerhead IG

Welcome to farming ,Fertilizer price up,fuel up,land rent up,parts up,seed up,and the price of milk to drop @ $2.00 a hundred !How much longer can we hold onIJ Farmers are always the last ones in line that take the beating. jl

You sure said the truth there, farmers are all taking it on the chin and we really need to look at who is making the money off of us, always the manufacturers, we take all the risk and they take it for nothing and mark it up ten fold or more. What really urks me the most is the Chicago Board of Trade, those rotten traders make money hand over fist, up or down they don't care who they are hurting, and all they have invested is a lunch bucket, if that, things have got to change and soon before there are no farmers left.

This is a combine board..want to complain start a complaining board.

Yup, an AGCO purchased part that seems to be high in price by the time it reaches us. Typical! I have been told by an AGCO employee that any purchased part arrives at AGCO and is immediately tripled in price. I would think these would be the cheaper parts which are probably built by smaller companies that don't have the overhead. Don't deny it AGCO parts are too high and dealers and customers need to speak up to protect AGCO from itself.

And you have never complained about anythingIJ No one is complaining,just stating facts about everthing going up in price,and farmers better start waking up and do something before it is to late. I bought guards for a gleaner head this fall for 14.00 a piece, Deere is 8.00 now would that be complaining if I say that Agco parts are over priced. Allis-Chalmers parts were always high compared to others,but there equipment was cheaper to off set that. Now they have prices with everyone else,on there new,something has to give. IG
