Diesel prices are surging, farm equipment sales remain under pressure, and used machinery is becoming an increasingly important option for farmers heading into 2027. On this episode of Moving Iron, Clinton Griffiths talks with Casey Seymour, Curt Blades of the Association of Equipment Manufacturers, and Machinery Pete about the forces shaping today's equipment market and what buyers and sellers should watch in the months ahead.

Casey Seymour breaks down the impact of rising diesel prices, the proposed government investigation into equipment pricing, and why farmers should carefully evaluate their machinery needs before making their next purchase. He also shares insights on equipment-buying seasons, financing incentives, and where buyers may find opportunities in the current market.

Curt Blades discusses the continued slowdown in new equipment sales, the outlook for a potential market rebound, the benefits of upgrading existing machinery, and the ongoing shortage of agricultural equipment technicians.

Machinery Pete joins the show from Georgia to share highlights from recent auctions, explain why exceptionally well-maintained used equipment continues to command strong prices, and offer his outlook for the November and December auction season.

Plus, the team discusses harvest challenges, equipment maintenance, and why having a clear marketing plan is critical when market volatility creates uncertainty.

Buckle up, its time to move some iron!
