I would prefer to have appropriately sized equipment for my operation vs. having to rent out my stuff to justify me trying to look like a bigger farmer than I am.
I just don't see the point in having the big equipment if you have to rent it out to justify it.
Really? Never found a super deal on something a bit bigger than you need but couldn't pass it up. Not always about trying to look like a BTO,,, trust me. However jumping to conclusions can have the same effect.
If you have to rent it out to make it work the deal was not good enough.
It is a bad cycle to get in, similar to custom work.....I buy newer and bigger stuff than I need, then do custom work/rent it out to justify it, then I wear out my equipment faster, so I need to buy newer/bigger equipment sooner, so I can do my custom work.......
Sounds like spinning wheels to me. I would rather have money in grain bins, tile, pay down operating debt, livestock, etc where I can get a good return on it. | |
