SE MN Still in Pothole Country | Resale value is important but most of us do not buy a machine for the pleasure of trading it off. If you expect Brand A and Brand B to do the same job with the same operating and maintenance costs it is hard to pay much more for one than the other based on resale. If you pay $5000 more for tractor A and expect to sell it in nine years and interest is 8% you will need to get $10,000 more to be even with the game. Sometimes it happens. Look at a 4440 JD and IH1086 both bought new in 1980. |
