One of the biggest decisions facing dealerships revolves around setting fair equipment margins. If high profit is the goal, sales may be lost to competitors, but aggressive pricing could lead some to feel they could have done better.

The camouflage Bush Hog has been on display at various farm machinery shows across the country. About $10,000 was raised for the American Veterans organization.

Everyone in the equipment business loves retailing the big-ticket items, but those smaller niche attachments are sometimes what pay the bills.

Bush Hog is excited to introduce three new Zero-Turn mowers, the HDE Series, the HDC Series and the HDZ Series into its product offering.

The 15-foot cutter is designed to cut weeds, grasses and brush up to 3 1/2 inches in diameter.

The rural equipment market, both new and used, is not showing signs of the downturn being experienced now for production agriculture dealers. For instance, values for used tractors in the 100 horsepower or less range have been trending up in recent years, compared with an overall downward trend for used farm equipment, according to Machinery Pete’s Fourth Quarter 2015 Used Values Index.
