In this episode of the Moving Iron Podcast, hosts Casey Seymour and Greg Peterson dig deep into the ever-evolving ag equipment landscape. They explore how older combine models like the John Deere S780 and S670 are commanding strong auction prices compared to newer machines—signaling a fascinating market pivot. The conversation highlights the challenges posed by high interest rates, slowing auction activity, and the strategies that dealers are using to boost sales. Seasonal trends, particularly the pivotal months of June and July, are also discussed as key indicators for predicting end-of-year market momentum.

The hosts also explore how regional farming practices and specialized equipment needs shape buying decisions. From the wide-open fields of the Panhandle to the hedgerows of Kansas, they emphasize how geography influences machinery choices. Transportation logistics, personal interactions at auctions, and the need for dealers to stay dialed in to their customers’ preferences all come into play. With stories of young farmers benefiting from retiring landowners and the continued growth of online auctions, this episode offers invaluable insights into the trends driving the ag equipment market today. Buckle up—it’s time to move some iron!
