Be alot of X9’s on the market when them big farms switch back to Red. Because Red has a way better sprayer and 4wd tractor. Soon to be combine.

[Crestliner]

Question: What is the best combine to own in 2024?

Answer: One that is paid for!

[SASKFARMER]

I agree one that's paid for.

Case sprayers suck that's a fact still trying to find the line.

New case Combine will cost more than Deere.

Number one big farm won't switch for three more years

true equipment payments going to hurt some, especially if interest rates are not locked in .

Made a deal to upgrade a sprayer, to a 2400 gal / 132ft PT .
Maybe not the time but given the grain markets , how rare it is to find them and still potential drought again , hard to pass up
It was around 15x cheaper than updating the HC even to a used one that’s smaller than the PT .
Hopefully it works as good as the last one .
A lot new stuff is moving though in areas that have done very well the past three years . The fleet deals make it a far different situation than one off deals , probably in the order of 20% cheaper ?
vastly different situations in western Canada now after the past three years .

More steel sitting on lots now for sure but getting things worked on still a problem. Reasons range from short of help to we have a few of our guys at school training them on how to work on the new stuff. Plus they are still putting together stuff that was bought when canola was $18. Aw yes the good old days ! P.S. I thought a JD sprayer would be the cats ass compared to the yellow and red am I wrong?

[SASKFARMER]

It is get the one with IVT type of transmission save big time on fuel plus big tank
