NW Missouri | Thanks for the replies, but you guys need to read my post again.
My father in law no longer wants to plant his own, why would he want to go custom plant for somebody else? He has a planter sitting in the shed in good condition that hasn't moved this year. Somebody he trusts wants to rent it to plant a small number of acres. There really isn't much more to go wrong on a Kinze 3500 than a JD 7000 - it's mechanical drive, no precision anything. Just chains, tires, and bearings. Yes, he may very well trade the planter rent for labor, but he still needs to put a value on it. I doubt if this young guy wants someone else planting his crop for him anyway. I don't know if his planter is broke down, or if he's just looking to plant 15" beans, but regardless it's not my call - I was just asked what I thought a fair value was. | |
