Resale Values for Combines and Headers

摘要

This installment of Trade Values & Trends looks at the resale values for used Class V through VIII combines and corn and soybean headers over a four-year period. Figure 1 shows that the average sale price for used combines is increasing from year to year. As technology in complex equipment such as combines continues to advance, farmers have an incentive to buy the latest machine, whether it's a new or good used unit. New equipment prices have an effect on used equipment sale prices. As they rise, values have a tendency to filter down to used equipment.
