I think what you are seeing is the tariffs starting to make an impact on new inventory purchased from China.
I agree. I just think they should eat it until they come out with something new. They are a very successful company within this industry however, so I would assume they know what they are doing! Good news is with their extremely strict MAP policy and the new prices, the used market is strong which helps this equipment we buy retain value!
I'm just crabby about it all, but it's probably a good sign for our economy. Everything is going up and unemployment is low. I just need a bigger number on my W2!
