the Amish will run it into the ground and rig it when it breaks. In 10 years it will be worn out scrap metal!(quoted from post at 20:11:26 11/09/14) What is sad fate is when you see them on top of a hill full of rocks so the wind don't tip them over. A machine like this I think should be used and taken care off. Where it is going I sure it will be.
3 weeks isn't enough time. Those things are large and require low heavy trailers to move them a distance. Most modern farmers don't give a rats a$$ about old machinery so that comparison is void. Either way thanks for sending a nice late model machine to it's death. If you wonder why none of us bought it that's because $4500 is way too much for most of us to buy and truck it home!(quoted from post at 07:12:41 11/10/14) Not sticking up for the Amish, but I have seen a lot of 10 yr old equipment run into the ground and rigged ready for scrap heap by every day farmers. I had this machine advertised on YT for the past 3 weeks and not a single call. You all had a chance to own it. I called them hoping someone could use it.
irregardless $4500 is too much for a thresher!(quoted from post at 09:29:43 11/10/14) Hey there.
Calm down, at least it will live another 10
years or more, Then become a Toyota. as opposed
to being flattened and ripped apart by a track
hoe tomorrow.
And as for the $4500 asking price when has a
small thing like that ever stopped a guy
calling with $800 low ball offers He never even
had that call!. I used to advertise 10-$15.000
tractors and it never stopped guys offering
$4000 over the phone for an immaculate field
ready tractor with a $4000 loader on!

the Amish here run the hell out of everything and when exact parts can't be found things are made to work. I've seen truck loads of nice equipment destroyed in a matter of years. His thresher will have the factory rubber discarded and get steel wheels put on it. Anything that breaks will be band aided, ran broken or rigged until it's junk. Most of their machinery sits outside also, kind of a park it where you last used it deal. They stop in a couple times a year and try to clean me out but I won't sell. At the rate were going there won't be many threshers left by 2050! The Amish can afford to blow money because they deal in cash - no taxes!(quoted from post at 17:52:18 11/10/14) One heck of a nice looking machine. I agree with you that they need to be used. I don't know how Amish treat their equiptment, and I'm not taking shots at what you were asking. But I do know they are the ones to go for when selling this old equiptment cause money is no object to them. They need it to farm so cost is not a problem and collectors just can't compete.
