Alberta, Canada | "To me an older machine that is maintained in like new condition is just as reliable as new iron and will do the job for far lower cost."
Jon I'd go one step farther and say that in "certain cases" the older machine can be more reliable in that you know it inside and out. You have been there done that so you know what areas to check over in the off season. Not to mention if you have an older machine you probably stock many parts in your shop for it. One month old or a 20 year old combine they all can break down.
I know a couple pieces of machinery my father bought in the 70's he had more trouble and down time in the first year then he did the next 10 after!
