Can any one beat this!!

Sold my combine, been on farm for 17 years, bought 2nd hand at the time of purchase. MF 855, never spent much on it except the usual wear and tear parts. With 4000 hrs on the clock i sold it to someone who is going to continue using the old girl.
Anyway, i was very sad to see her go and after 17 years of reliable service, i sold her for 2k more than i paid all those years ago. I know of a few classic tractors that have risen in value but not many combine, unless someone knows different.

Funnily enough I'm going to sell mine this year but don't know what to ask for it, was going to ask on here as I can't find any for sale to gauge what to ask for it.
You couldn't give me a ball park figure as to where to start please?
pm me if you prefer.

Funny old ties with things we have!

Generally if you keep stuff long enough, the selling price overtakes the buying price. Might be the next generation that benefits though......

That hedge cutter you had of me @roscoe erf was a bit like this....you paid what my grandfather did when he got it. I found the invoice for it amongst load of old paperwork.

Did you ever use it? It was well run in!

Got a tractor that has been here since new that is worth 10x the purchase price. Not for sale though because it is still in use.
