central ohio..between Springville and Millbrook. | I have a question. You say you won't own a combine anytime soon. Why not? With machinery prices going down you could buy a cherry F3 gleaner or a 1440 international or a Massey 8560 for 10 grand...and even after paying for fuel... (without charging for your time) ...it would pay for itself in 2 years if you are paying 30.00 an acre custom rates. Baby the thing....look over every inch of it each year...wax it...and you would get a very quick payback. Then after year 2 you will be saving 6,000.00 a year and be harvesting on your schedule, at optimum moisture, and when field conditions are right.
And if u take care of the machine. ..chances are you can sell it down the road for as much as u pay for it if you buy a simple machine that a hobby farmer would want. ZERO depreciation.
Just a thought.
