[QUOTE="ARS, post: 1699762, member: 38457"] I’m a fan of this method, as long as the partner is reliable and isn’t known for breaking things. My husband and I have made a few co-purchases with my dad and brother and all has worked out well. We’ve bought a hay wrapper and a livestock trailer and are looking for a seeder at the moment. It takes a little communication, especially during hay season and weaning for example, and we try to be considerate of what the other is doing. One other thing to consider is insurance: are you both going to insure the equipment or is just one? Just something to think about. And finally, to answer tom4018’s question - we try to figure how much the item will make us each year and see how long it would take before it pays for itself. This isn’t always feasible, but is a good starting point. We also like to list out pros and cons and see which outweighs the other. [/QUOTE]
