SE SD | I remember when we switched from 9610 walkers to 9650sts rotor back in the day. Huge efficiency gains, but the repair bill also doubled. Not saying the X9 is double, but I would be shocked if you could get the average used X9 combine through an inspection cheaper than the average S780. I know my dealer would charge a "X9" premium just for the privilege of parking it into their shop! :)
I understand when you go based off of capacity. Say a AF11 harvests twice as many bushels in a day as a 2388. The AF11 has a cheaper cost per bushel because it can harvest twice as many bushels in a day. (Just an example) So I understand that logic. I look at it based on what it costs me per acre to harvest the crops. I try and keep my harvest budget per acre under what custom guys are charging. Just the way I look at it. Right or wrong | |
