Alberta | I bought mine on Bigiron auctions in Wisconsin for 12500 USD. Good used with a stainless liner and new knives out of a dairy. I had to spend 5000 CAD for a new conveyor as that one was pretty much worn out, but all in I was about 20000 CAD into it less the week I spent on the road to pick it up myself. Used twin screws where I live are in the mid 30s to 40 thousand CAD price. In the 5 years since we bought it, I dont think I have put a dollar into it though it could use a new set of knives. 900 Twin screw, use it for 300 head Cow calf operation for about 220 days out of the year mixing 3 loads a day. Crazy thing is I drove 2000 km to pick it up and they are made 200 km from where I live in Alberta Canada. On a side note, we can pull ours in good weather and flat frozen ground with a 110 hp tractor, but it is a load for the motor we start it with an 18000 lb load of TMR. Any sort mud is like dragging an anchor and icy hills and rubber don't mix well. Our wagon has dual 11-22.5 tires, and maybe another set of axles and flotation tires would help in wet conditions but these units are heavy to start with, 20000 lbs for the wagon and up to 20000 for the mix depending on moisture. Another note is that the twin is about 1 foot lower in height than they single which makes loading it easier.
