More Auction Madness

I guess they never update their equipment and don't have a clue how progressive farmers operate.

So a doubling of a piece of equipment in price is progressive. Wow.

I farm beside 2 of the biggest farmers in the province and they are running 5-7 yr old machines. If they need capacity, they get another one and find a city flunky to drive it.

You can get a lot of service done on a machine for $500k difference in price.

The guys from South County said they ran their wheels off chasing code ghosts and other issues in the X9s. Each to their own.

Take up your concerns with farmers who buy new equipment. They have their reasons and all I can say is good for them.

I don't have the latest models, but I'm thankful for those farmers who buy new as their good used equipment is then for sale for another progressive farmer to purchase and upgrade.

Besides, what's it to you or any of the others on Agriville questioning other farmers equipment purchases.

His point was financial feasibility and how it pencils, correct? I get his point, but I don’t think to most new machinery buyers that economic return is much of a thing on a million dollar machine. Because as he said, it can’t really be done.

I think guys get their hackles up if questioned because of this.

And as I said, to me, that’s entirely ok. But then just say it. Anyhow.

It is a plot to control food production and establish a new world order. At least according to Jazz and his buddies.
