Hi HH,

i've got no idea why...

pilots like them, but it is always interesting to see how long the Ag guys that decide to move into a 350 survive as an operator. Generally they tend to go broke faster than the guys that stick with a smaller machine.

I can't think of many Ag operator that have been running 350's in country for more than 15-20 years. there are quite a few JR and 500 operators well past that time.

For a long time we looked at resale value of second hand machines. Why are there so many 10-15 year old 350s for sale quite cheap, but all the Long Rangers were so expensive, and guys held onto them for 20-30 years? Now that the LR price has come down more are coming into NZ...
