Amazing features, too bad all the margin profits will end up into JDs pockets.
- JumpCrisscross 4y ago> too bad all the margin profits will end up into JDs pockets The reason these tractors sell is they have positive ROI. That doesn’t justify the tying. But assuming they’re money losers will lead to poor decisions.
- CuriouslyC 4y agoPositive-ish, assuming you have good harvests. If you have a bad run of harvests the debt for that expensive tractor will end your farm though.
- airza 4y agoI mean, they can have ROI, but if having one saves you 90K a year and they cost 89k a year is that really the optimal way to structure society?
- function_seven 4y agoSo saves me 1k a year? I don't think farmers are converting their equipment to John Deere for such a paltry improvement. But if it does truly net me 90K additional profit (and thus the gross improvement is 179k, half of which is spent on the capital to make that improvement), then yes, that looks optimal.
