The color of paint makes the price vary :)

When I  worked for a NH dealer a couple of years ago, we noticed the same  
phenomenon. And the strange part is that Case IH and New Holland are all  
part of the same company. If you look at their tractor, skid steer, and  
implement lines, you will notice that the only differences are that they  
have different colors model numbers - they all come off the same  
manufacturing lines! And the parts tags are starting to have a "CNH"  
logo. Yet, NH prices are regularly lower than IH and much lower than  
Case. Go figure.
