holy smokes,i would have guessed a 8010 would have been 180k and a 2388 at around 120k, shows you what i know. a $32 wheel bolt should never break should it IJ

hey tony, i think you were at the dealer same time i was today. i rented that 1660 there today, yer as ugly as i am!!...just kiddin! oh...just thought i'd let you know. i'm still runnin .99 cent diesel in my combines and tractors, should have enough till after planting time next year.

There really is no 99 cent fuel. That is like feeding your own corn when the price of pigs are 10 cents and corn is $4.00. Market value is what it is worth. You may be better off to sell your fuel. That would be good profit. Burn furnace oil!! I would think a 300K machine would burn most anything oily. Parts are a major, major, problem, however I would prefer to not have an outsorced part in my machine, but I also hope the man eating his cheerios realizes I got about 3 cents for the little round O fellows. I am glad you have some cheap fuel, but don't disquise the value. You are burning $3.00 diesel.

I bet he can't deduct $3.00 per gallon on his taxes thoughIJ IRS might frown on that a little bit.

 

[Winst]

You said that was list price. About how much do you think you could really buy them forIJ I used to figure around 80 per cent of list was about as good as you could do, but things may have changed. I know I will never buy a new combine.

like everything else, there comes a point when big is too big. These new monsters will never pay for themselves no matter how sharp the pencil is, yet a used MF300 bought at the right price will pay for itself in a week. like the Concorde, bigger and faster is not always better.

wish I could make enough to pay some!!

Just got a call from my dealer this morning he wants $125,000.00 CDN and my 2003 2388 which has 1900 rotor hours on it. I give him all this and I will get a 2006 2388. He told me I have to let him know by end of Oct. because there is a price increase. Am I crazy but isn't this just a bit much for exactly the same combine has I have but with no hours on it granted it is three years newer and from what I am hearing it will have a bit more horsepower. When will it stop in 1980 a 1480 was $80,000.00 CDN this is crazy. I guess I will keep my 2388 for a long, long, long, time because when it has 5000 hours on it it will still be worth $50,000.00 because new combines then will be close to a million dollars. Stop the insanity. lOl
