Fendt residuals not as good as some would believe,the 724's will have dropped at least £30k each in a year.

Perhaps they weren't dealer serviced.

Never seen buses for sale on a farm sale before..
£700 for a 71 seater

 

[trev7530]

The Jongkheere!?

Not a clue but there was a 71 seater, 54 and a 52 I think, plus a big selection of minibuses, must’ve been some outfit!

30k in 1800 + hours is about £16,50 a hours better than some tractors

22k litre stainless steel road going tanker at 5k looks a bargain!

Makes agricultural trailers look a rip off.

I doubt they paid £141k for them and they may be 20 months old?

Don't think they are holding there value any better than any of the other mainstream brands,30k is a big chunk to lose in its 1st year,looking at the spec of those tractors it's probably closer to 40k they have lost.

Really,I would have thought a JD specced up to those would be more than that.

They were more than a year old about 18 months, and that is at the age were most tractor take the big hit

A good coach 54 + seater 10 to 12 years old should between 30/50k

Looked at monday sale at Cheffins , naff all in .

 

[Devil's advocate]

It's still here at the moment. As said click on the lot to see the price

K S Coles Ltd - RING 2 - Auction sale of potato boxes, machinery, tractors, trailers & vehicles etc to be held at Wellington, Somerset

You have made my evening, what a sale. Suprised at how expensive tractors have become. Lots of junk as large outfits accumulate. Some of the specialist veg kit looks on my computer screen very good value, suspect the large trailers look a bit battered but appear to have been good value.

I suspect the key word is good. Thay only needed to move workers to fields, I suspect they spent accordingly.

I wonder what Cheffins reaction is to that. The vendors would of known there intentions from the start then get it all falsely advertised to lure the buyers in and the auctioneers to quote a good % for selling then move the goalposts. Arses.

I don't feel sorry for Cheffins, they must have made a packet out of this sale.

Really? Don’t say that as I was going to buy one but my fellow growers decided they weren’t worth it!

Why did your fellow growers not like the rolling machine? I see the best Jones machine made £2,350 & looks rougther than the one I paid £2,500 for. Having said that I like Jones, kit built with readly available parts & for me only one hours drive away.

Suprised how much of the net is 13m x 50m. Coles have a 24m sprayer so was expecting 25m x 200m for such a large business. Imagine two one ton bags packed with plastic pegs.

Are you wrapping net by hand, I still am, going for new to me machine, when we get drilled up/potatoes harvested.

I've wondered could they be homemade. I was thinking of a winter project. Using a drum from a fishing trawler.
