Can you elaborate a bit on the quote? Size, spec?

I had a price in the spring for a Siloking 22 cube twin auger, no conveyor just front corner and rear centre doors, bale augers (+£600:scratchhead:) wide angle pto etc was £33500. Decided to carry on with the old one a bit longer:bag:
One of the problems of a weak pound!
I have a Keenan paddle,the equivalent model new price now starts with a 4 apparently, not that I need or am inclined to change!

I think they are also subject to the noticeably exorbitant new machinery inflation: 3.5 years ago when we were buying the best price was a 25 cube Redrock with twin commercial axles, 2 speed gearbox, front conveyor, rear straights door and wide angle pto for £23k. Probably 50% dearer now.

Your joking? Ours was is a kenaan 380 and was 27k 2 years ago.
Well that’s what the service guy said! Haven’t priced one up for years, mine is a 160 which became a 340 and now a 345 I think. It only gets used in the winter so I hope it will last a good few years yet.

Out of interest was the kuhn price from the local dealer up the road from you who also sells JCB and McCormick? Or further afield?

full refurbed 14m3 RS agri (REMIX) new rotor, relined 8k, looked at a JF Stol 16m3 (i think) twin tub and it was 5k and could see through the tub and none of the electrics worked, looked 3k extra well spent to me.

How old/ many mixes roughly did it take to need to refurb the rs agri?

We've the same and it's ready for its 3rd set of knives and just replaced conveyor belt for 3rd time. Must be about 15 yrs old.
