err, 800 ha ( 2000 acre ) arable, all zero till.

my machinery lineup consists of a NH T8040 with about 9000 hrs, about 4 different planters, a T6010 loader tractor, an 80 tonne mother bin, a 90' x 13" swing away auger & a grain vac.

i use long term ( 20 - 30 years relationship ) contractors for spraying & harvesting

now that the T8040 is getting seriously f**ked & i dont want to spend money replacing or rebuilding it ( i also did contract planting work for many years, which is how i was able to update tractors & planters, but i have decided not to continue down that road any further ), I am seriously considering using contractors to plant my crops as well.

machinery is a HUGE expense, which only ever depreciates in value & costs money in repairs - it is getting increasingly difficult to justify owning any

the one thing i will ALWAYS own though is grain handling equipment & if i decide to get rid of main farming tractor, then i may very seriously consider a truck ( artic HGV for the UK crowd ) to help with harvest

I’m guessing you’re a dry land farmer?

Used to run older tractors but try to keep things under warranty.

Can't stand down time when cows are waiting and dealer back up is good with newer stuff.

How much would it cost to drill 2000 acres, possibly twice a year? Over here it's £25/acre. Probably a bit less on that average. 50k at least? Get a good tractor for that.

$45 / ha, farmer supplies fuel

that sort of money would buy an old high hour ( 300 hp ish ) tractor, just like what i already have

i think S/H tractors are a lot dearer here than UK
