What is the actual depreciation on a new combine?

[furrowtickler]

Add 30% from last year

That's the quote I heard with PU header, and I say after 2 years at 250 hours/ year. One unit, current $0.75 CAD.

SF3 you are low on the 9RX, need to add the options like cab, auto steer, lights, hydraulics and tracks,

Was quoted 724000 for quad.

Huh - and we thought $30,000 for new tires on the ole tractor was a bit much - lol

Will be many 200hr class 9 machines 300k after harvest I bet
KillamJD local 690 with pickup $344k big banner sitting up front lots to choose from. Drought slowed things... Battleriver Implements ltd

Using Buckets numbers
Combine 486,000
Headers 150,000
Total new cost. $636,000

Assuming 10,000 acre farm / 3 combines = 3,300 acres per combine

If jake says $39,000 per combine I'll use $50,000 per machine for ease and conservative?

$50,000 / 3,300 acres = $15 dollars acre

if you listen to the chemical dealers that's just over a bushel per acre (current justification or decision tool to apply fungicide or not)

RareEarth,

That sounds like reasonable math. Its much less than paying custom work. So it still pays to trade multiples, plus warrantee. So if it breaks Or throws a code , you just call the dealership , you dont even have to get any dust of chaff on you.

So your saying your $636k machine will fetch $586k at Richie Bros the following year? Seems highly optomistic, I would say around $425k is more likely or a 65 an acre.

[Rareearth]

Maybe that's why you flip through dealer?

Then there is the up front cost to play that game,
$636,000 per combine.
