Ok be honest, did JD pay you to post this? If so, less or more then $1000?

SF3, did you get wood watching that video? Enough for a pit fire?

[seldomseen]

Will anyone make a guess at what the price of the whole unit from the front of the tractor to the back of the tank?

[farmaholic]

Wholesale? MSRP? Retail sale price, or at Ritche Bros at two years old?

Farma let's hear price predictions for all of the above. I am not a John Deere guy but my guess for the whole unit new 1.2 million. The drill would be worth 300000 dollars imo in 2 years down from I am guessing 500000 new.

I was thinking cash deal from the dealer but two year old RB sale would be interesting also.

Just an observation but it seems drills are one of the pieces of farm equipment that drop in value the fastest.

Seem to recall 3 year old SeedHawks selling for 1/3 of original price at Ritchie Bros two years ago.

With all due respect fellas,. I don't know and dont care what that green iron is worth.....I'm not paying an inflated price for "Brand Marketing".

Here in the slum we farm(seed) with a Versi and Bourgault. ...works for us. I have a cheap ego to maintain.

Tractor 600k
Drill and tank 750k

My guess 1.35 million.

And in two years it's worth 600k

That looks like a very efficient seeding system.

I think I would struggle to pay for the front tires of the seeder tank.
I could leverage half my land base to own one of these beauties. Then I could leverage the other half to buy inputs so I can rent 3 times more land than I own.

A good friend of mine did tell me...."you got to have a lever." He is right.
