Estimation of the Remaining Value for Grape Harvesters Based on Second-Hand European Market Online Data

Assessing the remaining value (RV) of agricultural machines is essential to compute depreciation costs, especially in second-hand market, although previous scientific studies have employed scrap as an estimate RV (10 years life). Since Brazil, a developing country, at very first steps process grape harvest mechanization, it likely that harvesters will be mainly imported and for this task. ASABE has developed methodology evaluate based on experimental formula takes into account auction value, age intensity annual use. Our work adjusted coefficients online European market (Spain France) considering 1290 visited reporting brands, models, ages, hours use sale refined 89 unique records. For self-propelled harvesters, two types ownership were identified normal distribution intensity: private owners (22) farm service providers (6), with average 28% 40% respectively. trailed machine shorter than 13.5 was 36% compared 12.5% life more 24 years. The performance models (R2) formulation (American Society Agricultural Biological Engineers) amounted 0.86 0.85 harvesters.
