That is what's appealing to me about the used yellow machines.  Someone else already took the hit.



They did if you plan to run it till it is scrap metal.

I've told this story before but I looked at a 470 when I was combine shopping a few years ago. 1900 engine hours and it sat on the lot for 2 years for $62,000. I think it was 9 years old at the time.

All I could think about is what is this going to be worth in another 5 years when I want to sell it? It already lost what 75% of its "new" value in the first 9 years what would another 5 do to it? Would it be worth $25-30k? Would I even be able to sell it?

You don't see that type of depreciation on any other combine even the New Holland's or the Agco's.

I don't doubt they are good machines but at the end of the day cost of ownership is still king.
