With growing demand for detailed analysis and data on trends, influences and behaviors within the fast-changing farm equipment market, Lessiter Media has added Alex Zank for the newly-created position of Data Editor in its Ag Division.
Top of the list for June was a Best Practices article from Bob Clements on how to start each day to lead to success. Additional items that took the spotlight include an article on dealership performance data and Kubota's expansion of its small-machine lineup.
Continuing solid demand for many of the new products handled by many rural lifestyle equipment dealers, including compact, utility and garden tractors as well as ATVs, is helping to maintain the valuations of used equipment.
For the third year in a row, lawn and garden equipment maintained its top spot on farm equipment dealers’ ranking of “Best Bets” list of products they believe will increase unit sales in 2017. And not too far behind are compact tractors (under 40 horsepower) in the #2 spot, and #5 on the list is utility tractors (40-100 horsepower).
