Equipment is still pricey

I saw a JD 4455 today in a lot. It was a 1991 model, 10,000
hours for $49K. A nice clean tractor, but still seems like a
lot of money for 10000 hours.

Equipment is still pricey.
 
I saw a 4430 around here with less than 3000 hours sell for 20K in the past couple of years... The prices do seem to stay up there.
 
Just gotta shop around for price and condition you can afford.

Bought a older NH 892 chopper for $800 w/ hay head, found a corn head for $400 plus another $130 for a pulley I needed to run it. I need to put a little more into it in parts, but still a decent up grade for under $2000.

A chopper w/ heads in slightly better shape would be atleast $4000 it seems. If not more yet.

Around here tractors have remained pretty steady while smaller implement prices have gone down some.

Where are you at? In Minnesota crop yields and crop prices are both higher than last year. Farm incomes look very good except for livestock farmers. It sounds like crop insurance will keep grain farm income above last year's in the drought areas too.

Note I said smaller equipment...the grain guys are not buying....and the small guy always has animals. So they ain't buying tha smaller equioment .

My response to that statement is "Have you priced a new one lately?". Besides I would rather have the 4455 than the 'Insert whatever Deere is trying to pass off as a 150 hp. tractor because the model numbers are getting hard to follow here."
