More Auction Madness

[Partners]

Older equipment is mostly more reliable, but the kicker is getting parts for older equipment is becoming more and more unreliable. And new equipment is priced for the few that can afford it .
Kinda a catch 22 scenario.

Must be why large farms flip every piece of equipment every yr.
Warranty..parts available..
No need for grease guns..no fancy heated shops or large sheds?
Get your accountant to figure it out.
Some just started doing it after yrs of running older equipment..
Plus looks impressive..

Large farm here leases (rents) 3 new combines every year and owns one 15-20 year old machine. Owner said the leased machines each cost $250,000 each to use for harvest.

$250000 per machine? How many acres do they do with each machine? That number surprises me, not sure how they pencil that.

[Taiga]

About 28,000+/-
Number seems close looking at values of year old used machines (depreciation).

28,000 acres per machine per year?

The dollar figure seems accurate, based on what a new machine is supposedly worth versus a year old machine. Surprised it's not more than that today.

250k seems very high. I don’t think even an x9 would depreciate that much in a season. 300-350 a rotor hour would be normal for a newish machine. Around 100k per season.

I think you are a little out of touch on prices or are getting a good multi unit discounts. Trade quotes the last few years have been close to $500/ eng hour

Pretty wild prices
Paid less for a new 620 a year ago. Sure be tempted to sell the whole fleet if son didn’t have the farmer gene too.

935,000 for a x9 with 304 sep hrs..

What happens if these wild grain prices drop like a tank? It was only a few short years ago. Shudder.

Have you guys ever priced new to see how much stuff is NEW>

The tractor at Balcarres went to a good home.

Yes, some in the East side have had three in a row for prices if they didn't sell at the beginning of the run-up till June and then didn't contract.

Saskfarmer what is your estimate of depreciation for the first 2 or 3 hundred hours on a combine?

On his X9? Guessing it appreciated $250-300,000 this year.

With the $$$ and price increase.
X9's are 200 k more list price.
Buy now before it goes up is the theme.
Until lots have new inventory this will not stop..
