It does look good, but like others have posted, to much of an investment on a year like this, would suit someone like me, better to take the hit when the wheat is delivered, still costs to dry it on farm.

the one we bought to tide us over when we had our fire a couple of years back was very hard to sell, insurance co paid 22k for it and then sold it via co-part in the end for about 10k which was a bargain for someone

@B&B Pig Man I Bought a 3 year old 12 ton electric drive master drier a 3 years ago with less than 400 hrs on it for 10k less than new price.

I paid a couple of thousand more than your asking but it's electric which is more sought after as it doesn't tie tractors up and is more automated than pto drive. It's also a 12 tonnes and has a Master badge on it which seems to add value compared to some other makes.

So another vote for the £15k price bracket then?

I bought an 11 ton master drier last year. Admittedly lot older than yours but it had been factory refurbed and came with a seasons parts warrenty. That was 15k. I did think you were being a little optimistic asking 22k
