[QUOTE="ace, post: 7383605, member: 2824"] In the 2000's replacement policies were easy. You could buy high end machinery as reasonable prices and they would halve in value over 5 years. Financed over 5 years you could then px for the newer model and costs per acre would be similar. Today. Machines halve in 3/4 years and second hand values have not tracked.The new price has gone up astronomically, the gap has widened. Costs per acre are up nearly £10/acre per machine replaced.This is not sustainable, yes many already know this . There is then the con of warranties and care packages which are tieing you in for longer and making a business less flexible.You pay huge amounts of money for warranties that should not be needed.They are needed as generally they are not as solid as they used to be. I have a ckuple of machines where all of my warranty allowance is being used,for whose benefit? Where will it lead? Discuss. [/QUOTE]
