Combines R50 4x4

Not sure if this helps, but it is some info for you think about. August 2006, Garritson Equipment (ACGO) sold out to West Point Equipment. The auction had a fairly decent R50 that had been through the shop. It had a head with it, dont remember the size. But the auctioneer only got $4500 for it. I was surprised it went that low, but a decent l3 went to $8000. A rough l2 brought $3500. But to me the real surprise was a good CIH 1660 only fetched $6800 with no heads and most options. This was in an area that there is a strong presence of red machines. For reference to newer stuffIJ A R65 with about 300 hours went for $114,000, another R65 with about 450 hours went for just under $104,000 both I think were 2003-5 machines. I was only there to try to pick up a cheap corn head for our just purchased R42 then. (plus some odds and ends that we could use.) I missed out on one that would have worked for us. I have to remember to ignore the cell phone sometimes!

Thanks for the reply, I think that machine was a steal at 6K to get 4 wheel drive and a flex head of that size but don't know if it sold or not, don't see an ad for it this week.
