Casey Seymour, founder and host of the Moving Iron Podcast, has continued to provide weekly commentary on the used farm equipment market throughout the fall of 2026. In recent episodes, he discussed strong auction prices for low-hour combines and sprayers and noted shrinking supplies of late-model used equipment. Seymour advised that buyers in the market should consider purchasing sooner rather than later, suggesting that prices could rise by the end of the year. He attributed market strength to factors such as rising commodity prices and cautious optimism among farmers, while also pointing to ongoing cost pressures from diesel fuel and tight margins. Seymour spoke about a lag between auction market trends and retail sales, noting that retail activity typically follows about six months after auction prices heat up. Seymour also addressed broader market dynamics, including the impact of reduced new equipment production since 2023 and the role of technology upgrades in helping farmers adopt precision agriculture. He commented on the influence of macroeconomic factors such as refiner capacity on diesel prices and discussed potential market shifts into 2027, including the possibility of herd liquidation in the cattle sector if grain prices remain elevated. Throughout these appearances, Seymour emphasized practical decision-making for farmers and dealers, encouraging long-term planning regarding equipment purchases, tax implications, and cash flow.

It's a cash flow thing and there's all kinds of things that come into play in that. So, as you work your way through that”

“I think it's kind of a little bit of that, you know, but I think there's two facets to when you're looking at equipment, right? So, one is what do I feel comfortable with buying, right? So, and also understanding what it is. If you haven't been in the market for 5 years, there's plenty of people that haven't been in the market for 5 years, and you go and you show up, you're like, 'Holy crap, what happened?' You know,”

So, and they don't there's probably I don't know what the proportionate of red diesel to normal on-road diesel is, but it's not like it's parity by any means, right? So there's going to be it's going to alleviate suppression or somewhere for a little bit which you know every little bit helps but as a long-te”

“So, from a quoting perspective, there's a lot of quotes going out right now. A lot of guys are looking at stuff, revisiting some stuff from earlier in the year, those kind of things. So, you're starting to see a lot more stuff in there. I had a conversation with a guy here at the Moving Iron Summit, you know, where he was talking about the customer he's working with. They'd already prepaid, you know, their fertilizer”
