digging out the purchase price to figure capital gains on equipment that has been dragged out of the slough/bush/pasture...eg harrow packer bars, ground drive stone pickers, k100s, f600's...

Do you actually need the purchase price? Once it has been depreciated to zero, isn't that the book value you have to use?

I wonder how many accountants will have to brush up on how to deal with recapture of depreciation this year. Probably hasn't been something anyone in agriculture had to deal with in the past

I'm worrying about breakdowns and part availability.. when U order parts 7 months out and they don't arrive.. I'm hearing truck and Ag tires are Very expensive if they can be found.

shit could get real ugly really fast.

Good Luck everyone

I *think* I've got most everything on farm to put things in the field for seeding, but there are always the unexpected breaks that you couldn't necessarily forsee... There are a couple parts that I got the last ones in RME's dealer stock, and they have been backordered since everyone started stocking up for their usual spring seeding run. That doesn't bode well.

I'll have 42 Morris 4.5'' flat packer wheels off a Contour 1 available if anyone is in need.. also 42 Dutch 3" precision openers for Nh3 or liquid tube for a contour 1 new front knives included..

yup the v packers at Bourgault are back ordered. the other day was told 30-60 days. Drills going out from factory with no packers. It gonna get interesting. I am told that the rounded packer wheels are available. Personally I prefer the V packer wheel . We are waiting on a few but can probably find usable ones in the junk pile.

Talking with a bourgault dealer friday he told me the 4.5 rounds I have sitting in the shed are probably worth double what the v packers I replaced them a couple seasons ago , he said they have 40 in stock and wont see anymore until after seeding, He has 10 mid row discs again doesn't think hell see more until post seeding, said they'd ordered 550 got 200 in the winter.

2 years ago I decided I should make my Morris Contour 1 into a strictly canola drill.. get a larger second drill for cereals and a larger tractor to pull it.. I looked all over but couldn't find what I wanted at a reasonable price..

Last fall the search began again... by the end of Sept. I had a drill bought and the tractor search narrowed down to 2 tractors. I found large numbers of drills and tractors advertised, drills were cheap and the tractors were reasonably priced..

As soon as the drill was bought I ordered Bourgault V packers for my Morris(I like the design and price of Bourgault's V packers compared to the Morris) and new 3/4'' seed boots. Seed boots arrived at the dealership the beginning of march... packers still haven't shown up, So I bit the bullet and bought Morris packers.. If Bourgault is having supply issues with the V packers, I wonder how many New drills won't be delivered?

actually had the 2 tractor dealers bid their tractors down, saved an additional $18k when I signed the deal.

I'm very happy that I did my purchasing and parts ordering last fall.. I've got the junk I wanted at a very reasonable price compared to this springs prices..

I'm worrying about breakdowns and part availability.. when U order parts 7 months out and they don't arrive.. I'm hearing truck and Ag tires are Very expensive if they can be found.
