Oh yea. Absolute agreement. And worst of all, NH equipment needs parts. Lots and lots of parts. The NH engineers did their job in making sure there was follow-on business when they put their pencils down. When you run a NH balewagon as I do, you're ordering parts every doggone week. Almost the same for a swather. And the guys who own NH balers... hee hee. Let's just say that Hesston doesn't need to worry any time soon.
On top of the prices, I'm noticing that NH's parts inventory is being "adjusted" -- if you're running older NH machines, you might have to wait upwards of a week for parts to come into your dealer -- or... you get them shipped from some central parts depot and you pay the shipping fee. |
