You guys do realize the case and Nh are priced similar or more expensive

[agstar77]

How does that match with the 70 at Pattison for list a Million plus with 300 hrs?

[BTO780]

All I know is if I had 1.5 mill cash sitting around a combine or any other deprecating iron asset would be the last place I would park it regardless the interest rate.
Keep buying prices will keep rising.

[SASKFARMER]

Do you guys farm or not?

[blackpowder]

Oh, I think we all do. Just see it differently. Right or wrong.
And, yes we had to bank the last two pots we won. Cause the next 1 or 2 will be lost on the bluff and the 6 after will be folds.
Wish I could've cashed in.

[Taiga]

Can cash in anytime, no shortage of people wanting in it seems. I do think we will see another European influx as well unless the government clamps down on immigration. Around here it was Germans buying land like crazy in the 80’s. Still lots of land German owned and most have never set foot on it (never did come over), though been selling lately through estates as they pass away. Something about the German government encouraging foreign investment at the time I am told?.

Used were a $million$ ...waiting to see if 100's of used get taken home. Today listed....

Pattison 303 combines, Brandt 264, RME 408, Redhead 170, Hergott 30.

Plus check Ritchies...for auction. 171 today

With 1300+ units on the lots of that list of dealers there must be one for every buyers price point?
Some significant Dealers and brands not represented.

Combine inventories have been an appreciating asset in recent years as price for new inflated rapidly.

That hasn't always worked in commodity cycles.

[blackpowder]

Ritchie's has become the dealer for most price points.

[TOM4CWB]

As SF said, incentives (interest free financing particularly) (5 year warranty coverage free) by the dealer and manufacturers become bigger a influence on values of the equipment. You will find Dealers have reserve equipment funds, that have been built up over many years… that allows them to target sales to reduce inventory.

Very interesting study on how dealers and manufacturers manipulate inventory prices…to meet ”market” “demand…”

Many Blessings!

Each to their own , some have done extremely well the past three year , most have not.
it what’s it is , Tis the nature of farming in Western Canada.
Always someone who does well , and smart enough and or lucky to be on the fortunate end .
just don’t flaunt it , cause farmers are resentful by nature.
was not too long ago when some in the west did extremely well with pulses and out east where flooded . Never once did I see on here someone touting $3,000,000 in a lentil sale .
take your good times and be happy and carry on . Gives a very false reading to the industry as a whilole cause they truly believe every farmer is a multimillionaire and resent every one of us . Look at some of the replies on here from “grain buyers “ that cry about a 1-3 month vacation, that’s one out of 100 ffs at best in a lucky situation , and great farming practices combined with smart moves , but 1%- 3 % total .
there are far more shit sandwich’s than lobster in farming for most .
It Tis the nature of farmers , and breeds the very nature of CWB supporters.
let’s not go there
yes some did very well, right on, most did not and are facing a train wreck with the current market blowout, zero sub soil moisture for the 3-6 th year in a row .
be glad you get moisture
Did a road trip to Lethbridge, where water makes millions , most farms there would make even SF look like a hobby farmer .. no disrespect at all but seriously, in dry land farming we all are just lucky to be in the game at times
when shit times come again, just don’t complain , ever , if you just went through the three best years ever , dont flaunt it . It will not go over good , obviously.
best of luck to all
I get it , prices suck , but put on the shoes of many others that have had a fukin drought for up to 6 years in a row. We not there , but I know many
but totally get the resentment of falling crop prices, it’s gone terribly for all of us .
