Moving Iron: Buckle Up—The Used Equipment Market Isn’t Slowing Down

In this episode of Moving Iron, Casey Seymour and Greg Peterson dive deep into one of the most heated conversations in ag equipment today: the push for simpler, more repair-friendly machinery in the face of tightening emissions regulations and shifting political winds. Sparked by recent comments from President Trump, the debate has farmers, manufacturers, and dealers all asking the same question—what would ‘simple’ even look like in today’s regulatory and economic landscape?

Casey and Greg explore why many farmers are still willing to pay premiums for older, less complex models and how emissions-related retrofit costs—sometimes exceeding $45,000—are reshaping buying decisions. They break down how a move toward emissions-free factory equipment could upend used equipment values and shake financial balance sheets across the industry.

From auction trends and regional spec preferences to the dealer strategies shaped by tightening inventories, this episode gives you a clear picture of where the iron market stands—and where it’s headed. Buckle up … it’s time to move some iron!
