southeast north dakota | do any dealers still lease front wheel assist tractors? thinking on leasing one just to pull the planter for around 100 hrs. if so any price per hour? would probly go with john deere |

| All I know is our local New Holland dealer does. A neighbor leased one for 3 years. |

WC MN | Doubt you can go that few of hours. Guessing maybe 250 minimum? We rented a MT765 for a few years but dealer needed 250 hrs to make it worth their while to have tractor available, it was a new one. Think it was around $62/hr. |

southeast north dakota | 60 or 70 $ an hour would be reasonable. thats our problem hard to justify a 100,000 $ tractor for 100hrs a year our older one we have now would get demoted to the roller. |

WC MN | Cat was probably most reasonable rental we found for what we got. You may be able to find a 300 hr lease fairly reasonable. Depends how big of a tractor you need and if you can use it in other areas of your operation. We put on 250 hrs just planting so it worked out pretty good but we did end up buying it because we could use it for 3 seasons. |

| Leased a 665D for $15000 less than a less equipped JD 8235 R. The D has 5 outlets suspended front and cab. JD no ivt or ils. The buyout was $3000 higher for the D. |

Saronville NE | Couple yrs ago rented a 8130 for 500 hrs at $34 an hr, or $17k, the next year rented a new 8245R for 250 and it was $43 an hr or $10750. |

Sunnyside, WA | I know you have quit leasing and bought your tractors now. What are your costs per hour to own? I know my repair costs on 8000 JD's and they are lower than I thought they would be.
Seems like for the hours I put on, I either need to buy new every year or two, or buy high houred and run them into the ground. |

Saronville NE | So far Jason my repairs have been minimal on the 2=8000s, little higher on the 7810 but its got the most hours of anything we own. I think per hour my repairs on the 7810 since Ive owned it are around $12 an hour after this last year, woulda been way less before then, and if add the payment I had over the last few yrs on that tractor, I would be around $22 an hour. The 8000s are gonna be higher per hour if you figure payments in, but less with repairs, the 8410 would pry be around $3 an hr on repairs so far and the 8300 would be at $12 an hour, but add $30 an hour payment in their its a wash, but once payments gone I got something. Even if it is high houred. If I had to buy new my costs would be higher then they are now, so Im content on what Im doing. I like these older 8000s better then the new ones anyways. |

southeast north dakota | we currently pull our 16 row 1770nt with a 7120 magnum but its got about 10000 hrs on it and am getting woried about reliability for a planter tractor. it will probly last another 2000 hrs but you never know. we plant our beans and wheat with a 1890 and pull that with a 325 stx. going to have to bite the bullet one of these years and just upgrade im guessing just dont want to end up doing it in the middle of planting. |

Sunnyside, WA | I know of two 8920's in this area with almost 30,000 hours on each of them. Both run 7 days per week, 8-10 hours per day. |
|
|
|
Sunnyside, WA | I am in the $3-4/hour range on repairs with the 8000's so far. One has been as high as $8. Have been doing winter inspections on most of them this year for the first time and am right in the $2-4 range so far. See how the year goes with them now. Finally getting into radiators, leaking brake lines, front axle pivot bushings, rear axle bearings, replacing fuel lines, etc. Lots of little stuff, but still cheaper than new. |

| Lease is a term commonly thrown around for basically a financing deal. What you are really looking to do is "rent" a tractor. If the dealer has extra tractors sitting on their lot, they might rent you one. Last time I rented one, it was a JD 8100 for $40/hour, minimum of 100 hours. I wouldn't expect to rent a new tractor for what you are wanting. You'll just have to call some dealers and see what they have available. Usually those deals are done subject to sale at anytime also. Your best bet might be to run what you have and then try to rent something if the tractor breaks down. |

Charles City. Iowa | Hard To find a tractor to lease at 100 hours a year . I look at 100 hour rent, but if the dealer sells unit then you do not have one to use. Maybe look at more then one place to rent.
