Wow! That seems very cheap indeed - especially for farm sale prices. I'm sure @Chafer Bernie would be able to tell you a rough new price for that machine.

I saw a 06 Deere trailed make about £15k earlier in the year and thought that was cheap given the likely new price.
Fendt 820 just over 5k hrs on 10 plate 37k and sumo Dts 8m piped for liquid fert 39k,so I don't think prices were high ,if you click the earlier link,results are all listed

Just goes to show the amount of snobbery involved with big new machines. There seems to be a stigma attached to buying stuff from farm sales. A lot of folk would rather pay £25k for that sprayer from a dealer just so they can tell everyone where they bought it and how good a deal they got.

There's a big 36m JD with all the bells and whistles been in cheffins for months. Reserve price is more than sensible but no one wants it

Under bidder on a 08 knight at a sale the other day , everything on it and not done much £15000 with premium on.

I did not think that sprayer was dear , but it was not cheep either , the local dealer told me what he would pay for it on a trade in and it made more than that figure and only one set of wheels came with it.

I'm not so sure that's true. Plenty of people seem keen to go to farm sales, hang round for a lot of the day and will happily buy up kit sometimes at almost new prices. I liken it to the car-booters a bit.

....and yes, as far as some dealer machines are concerned plenty take in trade-ins and don't cast an eye over them at all but will sell with a few months warranty if you're lucky. Depending on the machine though it can be just as much luck as buying a machine out of a farm sale.

Dealers seem to pay almost nothing for secondhand kit, especially sprayers....but will happily charge top dollar for it to sell out of their yard. That's my experience anyway.
