Nice looking machine. Good to have this option for cotton...

Very nice! But look at the price lol. My goodness in real life you could get at least two late model JD 9996 six row basket pickers and a couple module builders and boll buggies for alot cheaper than that. All the farms I know that own these style pickers have to rent them out to other farms or do custom work for other farms as well as grow alot of cotton themselves to justify the cost of one of these machines.

Very nice look, but i think the combine is too expensive. Case Module Express cost "only" 485000 €, but have making a bigger bales of cotton. Please reduce the price of JD cotton picker

Just checked the JD homepage and the price ist legit.

[Ritchie]

As with all vehicles in the game, you can always lease the harvester instead of buying it of course.

[Beastbubba]

Cain't wait to buy one for my farm! Gonna take alota work to get it but something to look forward too.

True, but it also takes manpower to operate all of that. In today's ag world, labor isn't cheap nor necessarily available. That is what is driving much of the equipment design trends. Bigger sizes, automation & monitoring. So much is invested into accommodating less labor and less experienced labor.

Holy Bank-Loan, Batman! Look at the price on that thing!

Atleast it's a sort of realistic price considering I one for sale is a magazine for 685,000 bucks with 1000 hours on the clock. Not a lot of use, but i'm guessing this is how much it would of cost when it was new
