[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1789101, member: 32659"] I'm not sure were you are going with this post (what items you refer to anyways).I bought a Deweze hay unroller about 10 yrs ago for $1,600. At the time I thought it was expensive but I can tell you it's paid for itself in hay savings alone. Not sure how many $250 hay spikes I would've went through by now to boot. The SxS pay for themselves as well. It's not like they are a throw away item that has no value after 5 yrs. The Polaris Ranger we've had for the last 5 yrs will bring what we paid and we've used it alot. The Cab Kubota we bought 3 yrs ago has been a life saver when it comes to checking cattle in the winter and has saved many calves we wouldn't have found otherwise. I don’t think it'll bring what we gave like the Ranger but it'd be close. Granted not every investment on the ranch makes money but these two definitely will. I've ask on here several times what folks think an acceptable profit per head is but never have gotten a straight answer, $100,200, 500.....that being said if I wasn't making money on the cattle I'd be out for sure. I will admit I put most of the profit back into the operation but I have the luxury of doing so at this time so I try to invest in things to make my life easier, more productive, and more profitable in the years to come. 🙂🙂 [/QUOTE]
