That's shocking have they really gone up by that much? Is this a temporary supply and demand thing ?
(not that I have ever known them go down in price on the price list at least anyway)

I have been looking to change a LEXION 570 for a younger machine all year. Local Claas salesman now says they have suitable used machines that would interest me, but they will not enter into discussions until after harvest. If I was a Claas customer waiting for a new harvester, and having to use a used machine provided by Claas I don't think I'd be inclined to release it after harvest until the new machine turned up.
Well I am informed a JD X9 starts with a 6
Probably not far out. They list at 900 for the combine and another 150 for the header. Over a million quid list

There's a dealer with a Lexion 770 north of here in proper arable country for sale with only 80 hours on it for 395k euros which is 340k in pounds.
I thought that was a shocking price when I saw it but perhaps not now.

We bought a new one on our accountants advice last year too. Delighted we did the way prices have increased.
Price seemed crazy at the time.

Bloody hell.
I know its been talked about before but at what stage does refurbishing with service care package become a better deal? Whats the cost of the first years combining when a machine costs £600k?

Yes heard similar and they have started buying in 2nd hand combines for the farmers who had sold their old ones.Must be difficult for them and Class UK,apparently it's difficult sourcing some of the internal components.Mines here though as it had done a couple of demos last season,I actually feel quite fortunate.
what spec is 570 . as one of best made
talking to youn thomas yesterday
and he said they have done up all second hand units for support and help out where new units not coming

Jd had employee strikes late last year which slowed the large combine production.I understand Case are now having the same issue with the unions. Class factory in Russia is now in limbo and steel from Mariupol stopped as well . Wiring looms are made in Ukraine apparently, which added to Class woes. Header trailers are also lagging behind too, especially for the large headers. Production issues have coincided with peak demand for agricultural equipment fuelled by higher prices.

It's a seperate company owns it!
It's a contracting business.
Its limited so could claim capital allowance @130%

I bought new totally against my wife’s advice. I will let her read all of this to show how wise i am. My combine complete did cost £ 30,000 less than a 45 foot convio flex header so again i will tell her how wise i am.

Bit of a poor show really. With once great companies like Ruston Proctor based here Lincs knocking out threshing machines by the thousand we are now reliant on combines made abroad of evermore fickle design under evermore precarious circumstances. How did we get into such a vulnerable position?

Was told at Claas open day a few weeks ago there was a component shortage for the combines which is probably the cause of the lack of supply,tractors too with apparently a thousand sitting at French factory waiting for parts

Well the EU has got what it wanted with complex low emissions systems. No emissions at all if they are sitting there unfinished. Meanwhile those less bothered by such niceties in other parts of the world crack on.

With some areas harvest little more than a month away it could get interesting if sourcing spare parts become an issue.
