Opico 12t gas drier value

[cotswoldcs]

I'm looking at selling our 1980's Opico 12 gas fired PTO drier. It's in good working order, complete with DCM box, having completed harvest last year. We now have a new Masters so looking at selling the Opico. I have someone interested who made me an offer on the phone without even seeing it or photos so I might be selling it too cheaply!



I must admit it looks rusty now. I should have taken photos after harvest! It has been well maintained but has served us well having done 30 seasons for us.

If it’s working £1500 if it’s in really good order eg newish augers etc a bit more

One sold at a farm sale today in Scotland for £100 plus vat…

I don’t think that is helping the OP

The trouble with that model is moving them, other than towing,

I bought a neighbors last year at his farm sale for 3600 was a mid 90s machine though

Best oil it up and store in a shed. Then wait for a very wet harvest and offer for sale.

I'll buy it off you , delivered , no idea what it's worth .

I think that was the bargain of the day from what I saw. Hope he shows up here to tell us if it works and how he got it home. Prob worth more even as scrap

Yes must admit I was tempted although I know nothing about them and I aim to have my small acreage cut at a sensible moisture so it can be sent on to its final destination the day after its cut.
I’ll keep my ear to the ground as it’s new home is only 5 mins drive away roughly.

Was that an actual sale or online?

Sale was just outside Perth. Was a proper ‘live and in person’ sale. Tempted to say it could have been the first live sale this year in the country for a farm dispersal

I put one just like that on eBay this year and within 48hrs a guy from Yorkshire had bought it. Turns out he buys quite a few and does them up. He paid a couple of grand for it and sent a low loader down and we put it on. No worries!
I can pass you his number if you wish.

That would be Josh at Recon Driers, top lad, had a few bits over the years from him. Got @Phil P sorted too.
