[QUOTE="Clive, post: 6482679, member: 6"] Based on a recent quote a 6m 750a is 33% more expensive per m - doesn’t have fert, has one hopper not 4 etc 750a not the most expensive either - most others with fert are 15-20k per m and some like cross slot over 35k per m currently in NZ seed and fert spec ! I disagree on the fert, a decade of no till has taught me there are many situations where it makes a big difference. I would not own a no-till drill without ability to place fert with seed That’s why I think it’s value - expensive yes of course but given it’s size and the area it will cover it’s value vs alternatives Not that there are any alternatives really at this width - as far as I’m aware the Avatar is the only 12m disc no till drill sold in the uk right now ? Both our 750’s have been low depreciation and cheap to run, I don’t see this being much different really though ? 2 yr old value is irrelevant, it will do 10yrs plus I hope and my establishment cost per acre are so low under zerotill they really are not worth worrying about [/QUOTE]
