What is the average wage there? I'm a union guy myself. JD parts are severely overpriced. That's all I know.

SVcummins · Oct 13, 2021

Bought fiat cnh parts lately ?

SVcummins · Oct 13, 2021

Because the union guys wont work for 30$ an hour

SVcummins · Oct 13, 2021

160$ for a u joint that will fit in my hand and my hands arent big . And 75$ for some brass fittings . But deere Is overpriced

SVcummins · Oct 14, 2021

And it all costs to much

I agree! Deere parts are a lot cheaper than CNH.

Its not just parts that cost a lot, go buy a new piece of equipment. Makes parts not look so bad. The dollars today just dont have the same buying power as they used to . $62.000.00 per year sounds a bit stiff to pay a assembly worker in a tractor factory, but how much can a worker getting 60 Grand take home?

Just wait till you see what the fools create now for stupidity.

No dog in that fight be, interesting to watch though.

I haven't bought a genuine company part from Case/IHC, Deere or Agco in years if I could source the part elsewhere. Most of that stuff comes out of the same plant in China, so why pay more?

Kind of bad timed , dealer stocks are at an all time low. Prolonged strike would likely hurt the lawn and garden and under 100 hp market worse than the true farm market. Deer has been loosing market share in the under 100hp. market for some time. Long strike was the start of the down fall of IH years ago.

Everybody wants to be quick to blame the union, but what about all the non union people making 6,7, or even 8 digits per year? Then on top of that, they get bonuses that would knock you off your chair. Remember, Deere is a publicly traded company and the most important thing is return to shareholders. The people who make the most money off of Deere are in high rise buildings and suburban America and have never sat on a tractor or walked in a corn field. They just get excited when they see their 401k statement. Wall Street is the reason a lot of jobs moved to China.

Case IH parts through the dealer are far worse. Early in the year when JD was selling 5 gallon buckets of hydraulic oil for 70 dollars the Case dealer was at 100 dollars per bucket.

Kubota has been whittling away the under 100hp market for nearly two decades. Now Kubota is chipping away at the under 200hp market. The red and the green guys are kings in the 2-300hp market, and that is the big corn, beans and wheat growers.

Don't blame CNH for the prices they charge.
They know they will get the sale price from someone, at sometime.
And they are happy with reduced sales volume due to more profit on lower volume of sales.

That u-joint price proves it. CNH does not even put the joint in a different box, nor do they bother to use a different part number.
Why not?? Because they know they will sell it just the same.

A lot of the high cost of parts is due short production runs: small quantities produced vs. huge quantities. In other words, not many are needed, but they still stock them. And everyone knows the more you make of something, the cheaper it becomes to make. Tractors are not produced on anywhere near the scale that cars are, but there are as many models. And we expect them to keep every part for every single tractor/implement produced for the last 100 years! Mark.

Kubota might have been the start, but there are so many brands now in the sub-100 HP market that even if each of them take 1 or 2%, it starts adding up quickly.

I always used deere and my brother ran case. For the same era tractor, or combine, case oil, case filters, case seals, were never cheaper than deere that I remember. My brother complained about my deere cost to buy, and it used more fuel, but when we broke or maintained, my bill was always less. I bought from localstore. he had to order and pay shipping on top of a higher part.

I am working on an "IH 544" tractor and needed simple cork valve cover gasket... $49.15 at CIH... WOW!

A similar-sized cork valve cover gasket for a John Deere "2020" is $26.05.

This site's parent company has a generic valve cover gasket for the "544" for $13.25.

Quite a range of prices!

J Hamilton · Oct 14, 2021

Funny thing is the gasket from CNH and the
one from YT probably come from the same
manufactuer, just in a different package

It is rather impressive that either company still offers parts at any price for machines they sold over fifty years ago. Especially when one of the companies has gone through a bankruptcy and several buyouts and mergers since those machines were sold.
