    I know of the past been running into Canada for a lot of years , when the CAN $ was valued higher than the USA $ it hurt but when its the reverse its a killing for us.

    Right now big savings buying equipment in CANADA can save $45,000.00 to $60,000.00 on a new tractor bought in Canada with USA $
