Combines Quite a stir on new holland page

There are some exceptions to the rule but not NEARlY as many. My sources are http:__www.ironsearch.com_IRONSearch_content.aspx By the way, the 4640 was in NEB.. But yah, your right they are worth $16000 more here too. See for yourself.

The discussion was about NH or Case. "FR" turned it into rotories or walkers, then into JD bashing. Just go back and read it.

i have had red it broke down i have had green it breaks down and yellow well it to breaks down but what my operation relys on are my operaters don't matter what colour at the end of the day it is the guy sitting in the seat that really makes the money and often if a machine breaks down or not and anyone who say ""our colour doesn't break down well i will leave it to you to decide

Sorry about my brain fart......woke up this morning and realized I should have been using the term "opportunity costs", instead of "real cost"...... My bad The "jist" of the economic truth is the same.... Good luck

For some reason when red, blue, or yellow, is bashed, us cult following heathens seem to write one post and forget it.......when we slander green, the green following drones cannot let it go....... The truth is, buy what fits your operation.....The myth is "gotta farm green to be successfull (more resale is a farce)". I would not have aproblem buying green if it were the same price as a competitor, and they had something I was interested in. Good luck Mondo

Recent sale I was at the 4640's brought about $16000, and they were on a farm sale represented. A couple trader 5288's brought, $15,000. The Magnums outsold every representative greene tractor there. A 7130 2WD, early model, brought $25,500, while a later model 4755 wouldn't bring $20,000, they were both trader tractors. This is just what I'm seeing, but you can perpetuate the myth if you like. Dealers can ask whatever they like, but at some of the asking prices I see for greene, I seriously doubt if their getting it. Chads

Steve, once again, if you can point out a statement where I'm wrong, please, feel free to bring it up, if you don't like that I point out the deficiencies of certain pieces of equipment, while pointing out the positive aspects of others, well, that's too bad. I always try to be accurate in what I post, once again, if I'm not, feel free to point it out. Chads

Actually, Mondo, what it turned into is the standard bashing. What the @n%$ are all the greene guys doing monitoring all these boards for slights anyway, then feel they gotta defend their honor or somethingIJ FR's got some good points, but you guys don't wanna hear it. That's tough. There's a reason the popcorn plants specify CASEIH rotaries here in the U.S. And there's a reason soybean cleanout is AlWAYS less with an CASEIH rotary. But, I suppose you knew that. Whata buncha pricks. Were you around the deere shops in 92-93 when they were replacing all the walker cranks in the 9000 series combines, at the owners expense of course, because they were breaking walkers left and rightIJ Chads

The cost of money has everything to do with interest rates and inflation. I am not trying to change your mind on your decision to buy the genesis, just discussing the value of money. JD stock maybe.

The future value of money has nothing to do with interest rates, but it does have to do with inflation. Given his example, he's still right. The 14,000 dollars you save today will be worth less in 5 years, so you better use it wisely. In other words, 14,000 in my pocket today, is worth more than a mythical 14,000 trade in advantage in 5 years, just because the new machine cost more to start with. It's the same argument I could never understand for a diesel pickup. It's really just an argument to make you feel better about the purchase of a more expensive piece of equipment. Capital is nearly always the limiting factor in any farming operation, so whatever you can do to conserve it is wise. Chads
