RB sale

[Oliver88]

I just checked a few items.
2290 2wd Case for $32,000 seems like there might be an extra zero on that price. Hours not listed, must be virtually new?

Could have bought a 82 chev 3 ton gas for $8000, or a 95 Mack tandem for $14,000, one or both of those is the wrong price by a lot.

2011 Bourgault PHD sold for less than a 6 years older 5710, although the 5710 includes a cart. Are the PHD's wearing out that much faster?

2009 MF 9795 for $55,000 that is even half the price of the 2008 A85 Gleaner, what is wrong with the 9795's?

I'm glad that someone has figured out how to justify the depreciation on new equipment, particularly drills and combines. Makes my life easier.

I did notice the 229 Case and 9795 Massey too.
The 2294 Case appears to have under 3000 hours....still seems high especially without FEL.
Massey combines seem to sell extremely low at Ritchie's unless this model is a dud?

The near new 60' New Holland/Case drills seemed to have depreciated extremely fast......or are thes maintenance nightmares?

.....keep the ****in things for more than three years.... 8-10 and with modest hours/acres and in decent maintained shape then don't dump it at public auction

that's not long enough , lol. our old 835 bought, 3 years old in 83 . was pretty much used just for plowing snow got 200 hours pulling harrows , roller , etc. when we were so far behind . don't think we will sell it until we're done .

Isn't that the truth. #1 low pro wheat delivered at your cost getting beaten by feed prices at the bin door currently...

Yet high pro wheat is at a $2/bu or greater premium.

Sell it for feed than if you can't make something work for a better elevator price. Talk about doing a blended protein if you have other high protein wheat.

No different than any other year really.

Except for last year when a 2 12% beat feed, or two years ago when a 1 12% beat feed, or three years ago when a 1 12% beat feed, or 4 years ago when a 1 12% beat feed. Only time in recent memory that a good visual quality lower protein cwrs was beaten by feed prices was when cn and cp couldn't get a record setting crop to port 5 years ago...

Just an observation, not that I necessarily have issues with it. Financially, it doesnt much matter to me whether it goes through a starving African, or a starving pig/chicken/cow.

Yeah don't matter where the grain ends up. Only thing that matters is the $ in your pocket.

We want graincos to pay more for protein.

Only time they'll pay for protein is if we are short pro.

Then they don't pay anything when they are long pro.

Gonna be winners and losers every year is the unfortunate truth.
