LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Sandhills Global’s market analysis for November indicates significant challenges for used truck dealers, a slight increase in used agricultural equipment sales, and sluggish movement in the used heavy machinery sector, with some dealers shifting focus to rental options. These reports encompass used trucks, trailers, agricultural implements, and construction machinery across platforms like TruckPaper.com, TractorHouse.com, and MachineryTrader.com.
According to Truck Paper Manager Scott Lubischer, “The day cab segment is facing the toughest market conditions right now.” He noted that inventory is aging, urging dealers who haven’t adjusted prices to do so in accordance with market realities.
TractorHouse Manager Ryan Dolezal observed a rise in sales as the year end approaches, infusing a sense of optimism, albeit tempered by slower sales compared to previous years. He stressed the importance of competitive pricing.
