Years ago an old logger presented me with a formula to gauge wether or not you got your monies worth out of a used vehicle. He figured it at 10 cents per mile add repair costs. For example: my old pickup

brakes etc over the years-1000
heads-300
maint-1500
total=$4500.00
mileage to break even=45,000 Has anyone developed a similar formula to rough out the value of tractors? I farm for a living.

(Hp x hrs x X)+ repair&maint = value
Where X is a reasonable value of Hp/hrs
