Moving Iron: Skid Steers, Yellow Iron & the New Tax Terrain

In this week’s episode, hosts Casey Seymour and Greg “Machinery Pete” Peterson begin with heartfelt reflections on the Texas floods before diving into the evolving skid steer market—where new models now top $100K and auction prices for used units are stabilizing. Machinery Pete shares why well-maintained mid-life equipment is in high demand, spotlighting a 2009 Deere 325 that brought in $36K. Special guest Alex Kerr of Kerr Auctions discusses the company's rapid growth and their winning formula: transparency, flexibility, and strategies to attract global buyers. Casey and Aaron Fintel also explore the rising presence of yellow iron on farms, the tech evolution of traditional machines, and why skid steers are the Swiss Army knife of ag operations. Finally, get the latest on tax law changes that will impact your equipment decisions in 2025—from major increases to Section 179 expensing to fresh deductions for tipped workers and seniors. If you’re in the business of ag equipment, this is one you can’t afford to miss.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
