New lexion price !

Agreed price I’m told. One of the other guys has been speaking to our dealer so I haven’t had any direct contact yet. They are coming out this month before the price rises I’m told so we’ll get the details then.
Has anyone ever bought at machine without an impending price rise deadline? Does my head in, I’m sure it’s just a ruse to get a sale over the line

Surely there is no justification for a price rise at the moment?!
I'm sure they can think of something...
no need google nexat watching it a a big coop in ukraine 1000 hp 25 ton tank wheel at each corner like old gantry system
Lexion 770, New Holland CR, S690? If you could find a 770 that's been on maxicare and had a year or so left of maxicare you'd benefit from the first owner taking the huge hit on initial depreciation. Or a pair of 570s in good order if you've drivers available.... gives the option to split them up and 2 drying systems to spread the load over would romp through 2000 acres.

Possibly but what was the cost per clock hour/tonne/acre is the only true measure. If his machine works out favourably against a contractor doing it all, a hired combine or pair of 8 year old Axial flows who is the fool?

I have often seen two combines work well in a season where a novice operator follows a more experienced man around in the second machine and uses his settings. Once the OSR is cut and away and some barley or wheat is cut the less experienced operator will have a handle on it and be able to get the thing to cut although perhaps not as optimally as the man who has some serious trigger time behind him.
Experienced operators can also be set in there ways and the young one can more easily adjust to new technologies
Really hard to put a figure on it, but there's a 2022 x9 for sale at 400 odd k... apparently £1m combine new?! Been funny times on kit last 5 years, new price rises have held sh up to a certain extent
I keep wondering about all these dealers selling off there ex demo machines. They lop a few grand off and say it's a great deal.
My argument with them is it's now second hand and should be priced on that basis.
It's not like a tractor that can be used all year round. The dealer has used it for a whole season, just because they stick a new number plate on it, doesn't hide the fact that it is second hand.
Yet people seem to pay their prices.

Does the 90k get you the flex header?
Trouble is dealers get very slim allowances these days for demonstrators, guess the only saving grace is that it's available right there and then and generally they come with full warranty and the niggles ironed out.... depends if you're a patient man or want it now! I'm very patient, happy to wait 15-20 years for the real discount...I keep wondering about all these dealers selling off there ex demo machines. They lop a few grand off and say it's a great deal.

If it's cut 17640 acres and cost 1m then no different to hiring one, but that's an average of 39 acres an hr...
I agree, wasn't fair pointing at dealers. It's more the manufacturer pushing their dealers to promote their products, yet expect the customer to take most of the first year depreciation hit by calling it ex demo.
If I bought a new combine, used it for a season then tried to sell it back to dealer saying I was just trying it for a season. Would they give me most of my money back?
No. They would say its second hand.
