Exactly. It’s all relative for it’s time.
We didn’t get a Q cab until 1981 a Ford 6600 though it was luxury compared to the 5000 .it was that hot without air con we took the doors of at silage time

A neighbour who used to make bats for us pitched up in August 1976 with his new P reg MF 575. Our Fords had deluxe cabs whilst our uncle used to buy them with the standard cab. We thought the deluxe cab was luxury but the Massey with a heater/ blower and power steering was something else.We didn’t get a Q cab until 1981 a Ford 6600 though it was luxury compared to the 5000 .it was that hot without air con we took the doors of at silage time

You must be very young. I’ve seen substantial drops in prices periodically over the last 50 years and prices frozen at the same level for a decade or more. However there is no sign of this happening currently and in Welsh milk fields the price may rise somewhat over the next couple of years due to the need of dairy farms to maintain or increase output but needing to extensive by sourcing more land in order to do so, due to slurry and punitive N fertiliser regulations. Dumping slurry on someone else’s land carries the unacceptable risk that if TB were to strike, it stops export of slurry dead. Also there is little arable land in the Welsh milk field. So £15k to £20k/acre land, especially if it includes extra slurry storage, may well be here soon.

And to think abattoir waste from a slaughter house that kills TB reactors..was being spread on a farm locally...and a few neighbouring farms went down with TB... Different rules for us and them?
Former neighbour of mine . 3 of us retired as tenants at the same time. His machinery was second to none and often looked brand new . Changed his combine regularly and the story goes that when someone went to view the one he was part exchanging , rang the dealer to ask where it was as thought it was his new one in the shed.

In the uk land prices fell 1980 1600 an acre late 1980s 2000 an acre by 1992 1100 less than it made in 1980 and was refrained in 1981
big blocks 1500 acres could be had for 1million in 1992 interest rates were a lot higher then hitting 16%
In 1890 180 an acre in 1925 could not get a buyer because those that bought in the early 1920s had gone bust the price did not get above 180 till 1960s
uk population increased fast in the 1950 and 1960s
I am buying new combine harvester and yesterday went to the local NH dealer. At first I secretly came to machinery yard and it turns out of ~30 combines at least 10 are manufactured in 2022. Then I came to the seller and asked him about it, he admitted sales are slow and there is factory approved sale. I quoted TC5.90 exactly 1 year ago and it was 167k €. Seller told in the September of 2023 it was sitting at 180k €. Today I got an offer for exactly the same spec combine at exactly 160k €

160 k €uro is still crazy for a small combine. TC 5.90 is a modern TC 54 with new cab and adblue?!

Friend of mine was looking to swap a 155hp John deere tractor for another 155hp . Got the original quote a few months back but never bought. Been offered the next range size up 185hp last week for the same money.
Prices coming down in the car world it seems. A good friend has just bought a Range Rover and a Velar on the same day. The price he’s paid is £18,000 less for both vehicles than they were 6 months ago. Exact same spec but availability was 10 days instead of 8 months.
Pickup delivery times are now weeks and not months as well as I’ve been looking recently.

Ford rangers went up £1500 in price last week!

Trying to move stock rather than order from factory possibly? Suits them more than ur mate maybe unless they could make use of a bigger hoss. Spec be worth checking too, especially tyres.
Basically yes. But output I believe is at least double than old 4 walker TC54. For that price you get the rotary separator version, electric sieves, Varifeed header with side knives and trolley, it even has food refrigerator in cab. I believe 4 walker poverty spec TC would not be much more than 100-120k.
I believe I should easily average 100 tons of wheat per day with TC5.90. The insides of combine with RS and Varifeed can cope with 15-19 tons of wheat per hour I have been told by experienced operators.
Or that they are doing their job?
