Are used machines ever available?
We occasionally have used machines (from contractor trade ins) and demonstrator-machines available. Call to see if we do. The used contractor machines might not be pretty because they have been used hard; but they are mechanically sound and we go through them thoroughly before sending them back out. Typically, used machine prices whether from us or from sales by our customers have averaged 85% of new price; a remarkable testimony to the fact that these machines retain their value. Compare that to the depreciation you see evidenced at farm auctions where post pounders sometimes sell for less than scrap metal prices!
