Selling Used Equipment At Your Farm Can Bring A Price Bump

摘要

Perception is reality. This may be true nowhere more so than in the used farm equipment market. Recently I exchanged e-mails with a Machinerypete.com subscriber from eastern Iowa. He mentioned he just made a two-for-one trade with his local dealer. Inon trade went his absolutely pristine 2004 John Deere 2700 mulch ripper and a similarly sparkling 6-year-old Brent 572 grain cart. In turn, he upgraded his grain cart to a Brent 678. The Deere 2700 had only 1,300 acres of use. Both the 2700 and the Brent 572 grain cart were always shedded. I've said it before and I'll say it again: There's tremendous value in taking great care of your used equipment.
