Just sold my 2004, 2650 with 10000 plus bales through it. We bought it for 9900 and sold it today for 11500. They have went up about 1000 dollars a year since we bought ours.
I would bet you will never buy anything else. I tried to buy a used one the other day, this was the guys comments in a nutshell. He told me they don't use the Emerson as much because his son likes to load the D&W, but if he was going to sell one it would be the D&W. He said they never have to work on the Emerson, they are always fixing the D&W.
