Resale matters

Ownership cost is purchase price minus expected resale value plus maintenance. Financing and opportunity cost are not included.

Utilization

Match the machine to the workload

Specialist harvesters can make a profitable crop look expensive when they work only a few hours. Leasing keeps the initial commitment low, while buying becomes more attractive as hours accumulate across fields and seasons.

Use the actual lease quote shown in your game or mod. The defaults are a sample scenario and should not be treated as a universal lease formula.
