What is a new jd combine worth?

neighbors bought 2- (225hr) machines in the good ole USA. One 2010-9770 and one 2010-9870. LOADED machines. 9770 was 210,000, and 9870 was 232,000. Delivered. Figured they saved 140,000 over Sask dealers. We are still getting royally screwed up here.

Warrantee is gone after one year anyway. Wonder if they could still use jd financing with the 2 years interest free?? Could be a little tricky to apply, then again who cares its only 225 per machine. Our dollar is a dollar 6 now, could be some opportunity.

Hopper,

Can buy Deere extended Warr. up to 5 years old and 2500 eng. hours from dealers. Actually quite inexpensive. Ask you will be surprised.

2 smaller rotorys would be better than one class 8 for 4500 acres. one goes down still have one going and 2 will do more than one class 8. Smaller ones seem to stand up better with a little less hp.

I think your correct groundspeed. I am leaning to sitting on the sidelines yet this year, and fix up the old ones. My old 1680s need a shit load of work and likely 8 or 10 thousand in parts to fix them up, my work likely worth more than the parts. Cannot sell them as they are so have to fix them up anyway. Not going to increase my land base and 4500 acres is still a good size to have in other areas. Next year could sell them easier with the parts work orders possibly get an IH inspection after harvest. Buying one big one and still have one small 1680 won't work either. If have 2 combines the drivers will be happier if same size I think. Too many parts on these older combines.

Hopper, the Case IH combines are the simplest machine to work on. Parts are not more expensive than any others. Rebuild them up, install specialty rotors if you dont have them, and the axcellerator kit. You will gain 30% capacity easy. Next year, when you will be paying buckets of income tax,then trade.

[JDGreen]

ok 30% gain in capacity is a little excessive. Ran 1460's to 2388's for 22 years. Never did we gain 30% from specialty rotors or axcellerators. Smoother feeding and less slugging resulting in 15-20% gains at best.
