[QUOTE="Feldspar, post: 4742066, member: 386"] Does this give an advantage to the trailed sprayer? If the spraying bit of the apparatus becomes obsolete for some reason, the tractor on the front might not be and so you won't have lost as much value? But then could well be if the back end is obsolete, the front end probably will be too. I think new tech is coming fast, but I don't think that will mean the demand for old machinery will suddenly evaporate. The geography of the demand might change a bit, but I don't see these machines becoming worthless just like that. That said, as I've mentioned before, the book I read on holiday this year was Superforecasting. One of the points made in it was that the horizon over which people can reliably forecast is about 5 years. Most of the major changes that have fundamentally changed our lives were not foreseen well in advance (i.e. not 10 years in advance). As you say, you can't hold on for 10 years, so you've got to do something. [/QUOTE]
