Ritchie sale - 550 quads ?

[furrowtickler]

Any guess on the ave price they will fetch ?

[HFL]

At Swift Current? 350,000. We have one just like them, ours has a PTO.

[furrowtickler]

Sorry - Saskatoon.

Lots to chose from. Likely the first couple will sell cheaper than the last couple. I'd guess in the low $300's

$285,000 average if your talking about the 500 quads at saskatoon. That's my guess. They have 30 inch tracks. Big discount there.

Jake or anybody else, do you have much experience with 30 and 36 inch tracks. Want to buy a quad track and have found lots of units equipped with both. Don't see any discounting at dealership. Had one guy with 36" who said they curled up at edge and he did not like that. salesman said that was a good aspect. Kept dirt from rolling onto track.

[Hopperbin]

If curled up would it not hold dirt in.

We have one of each. For the price difference I'd go with 30 inches if buying new. About $12,000 less. Plus depending on the width of your sc****r (if your scraping) the narrower the better we find.

If less than $300,000 that would be close to 2/3 the cost of a new one ?

[fjlip]

So that would be $450,000 or so?
Wonder who ATE the $150,000? Hope that makes somebody SICK enough for the insanity to stop.
Why all the Quads at auctions? Makes em look bad.

New Flex tires can come close to the same traction on normal planting work... with no track maintenance and very long tire life.

[furrowtickler]

New 600 Quads start at $500,000 - no ?

[RD414]

12 or 13 case quad 500's in the Saskatoon sale were all broadacres. New wheeled 540 hp case around 360 to 370k
