No New Equipment Purchases for 2013.

[ado089]

After having a custom guy in this fall
with a couple of TR98 that kept up no
problem with our 8120 I'm fairly convinced
we are getting fleeced with this new
machinery. The only thing the new stuff
seems to do better is burn fuel.

Yea when I filled the demo to head north, wow all
that fuel for6 hrs. I thinks the last guy didn't top it
off.
Custom opperators will work for extra help. But
don't trade three off for one or two big ones big
mistake.

I look at specs on a machine. The 9670 is the same machine as the 9770. The power is higher on the 9770. I buy the 9670 and run slower, no big deal. And for the price of a new one, I run two good used ones.

The 9500s were getting older and I don't like fixing but I could catch up to the green all the time.

Neighbor inquired about trading 8120 650 sep hours on a 8230 vs S680 JD the JD was $70,000 more. Just imagine if we had an .80cent Dollar. Holy shit. I too will be out of the combine market for a few years. 25% to 30% inflation on Combines in the past 2 years. What really pisses me off is 1 year warrantee way to stand behind your $400,000 Combine.

Don't think a tr98 is going to keep up to a 8120 unless there is no crop to fill the combine. My operator starts complaining about tuff crop when he slows to 4.5 mph in a 36 foot swath lol.
I do think the old tr98s were a good machine capacity wise in their day.

[Hopperbin]

mbratrud I am guessing the trade to the 8230 was very close to 200,000 and your neighbour is shy to admit that also. So the trade to the jd would be 270,000 wow

Cost to us to trade to new loaded up 2013 8230s
from 2 year old 8120s( 600 hrs) is roughly
42000/year. Still waiting for price on s680 but after
demo, don't really care to buy one. Two many
options that are missing which are standard
features on the caseih. Ran Deere for 28 years
prior to the 8120s

Hopper he was quoted a little over a
Hundred without headers.

[Hopperbin]

Highwayman double check if it is a 2013 or 2012 big difference in the engine emissions part 2013 should be tier 4. My local dealer give me a price and he called a 2012 a 2013.
That 2013 when sold may be considered a 2012 when resold. Your quote sounds too cheap actually. Who are you dealing with, I may want to check there.

[highwayman]

Hopper 2012 & 2013 models are both tier 4
engines and use DEF. 2013 models have other
changes coming including a new cab. Models we
were quoted we're 2013s and we were quoted on
4 pieces. Youngs Equipment.
