Farmers faced declining net income, making them more price-sensitive and inclined to delay new equipment purchases. This reduced purchasing power, coupled with a surplus of agricultural machinery and a robust used equipment market, gave them considerable leverage in negotiations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe availability of comparable standard equipment across major manufacturers also contributed to low switching costs for farmers, further enhancing their ability to demand better terms.
