[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7779590, member: 54866"] Cost to change is a meaningless figure really. You aren't buying the very same machine, surely? One will be newer than the other, even if you only ever use it for the same jobs. The important bit is what has machine A cost me overall in £ per hour during its tenure and am I happy to continue to paying that, will it increase as a failure becomes more likely or should I buy B because reason(s): X,Y or Z? Such as more reliable, old machine can't do what I intend to do, operator refuses to drive old machine, etc etc etc. And so on. If you are only interested in calculator figures then I dare say a lot of farms should be running tractors to 20,000 hours as it would possibly be cheaper but it is possible some machines won't retain their full functionality to that 'age'.
