      I think it would cost a lot more than that for a flight to new Zealand. What would it weigh without the blade , 50 tonnes ? to get that amount of weight up into the air and fly would burn lots of fuel. and cost a lot. I would say 400k all up for everything . And you need one of those down there to run over 'the thing' if they ever encounter one in the ice one day .

      @effinghamhick no way. That machine new cant be anymore than 500k. On off parts always cost more than if u bought a hole bunch. Im sure given the work load their was a price break on parts and such. And considering the factory did it helps alot to. But hey thats just the trade we are in. I paid 450$ for 2 hydro lines for my Hitachi.

    It seems like a rebuild/restoration of that scope would cost as much as or more than simply buying a new tractor. Every aspect of the machine has been gone through, but without the efficiencies of the factory assembly line.

    • @C8mon
      @C8mon 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Except for fabrication and assembly of major components not to mention the chassis of the tractor itself. I think if it was cheaper to buy a new one they would have bought a new one. My guess is it would by close to 80% of the price of a new one.
