What does the ! mean on the value?

The value of the equipment has dropped

[GrandTickler]

kinda wondered that too, is it maybe telling you its not worth repairing anymore?

[Skippy The Magnificent]

Both are basically correct. The value/age of the equipment has hit a point to where maintenance fees will go through the roof (as if they are not high enough atm).

i would never get enough money to buy new equip if a replace soon as one had a ! on it

Buying items from used market is not always a good idea

[Cellfire]

id be interested in seeing how many hours your equipment/ tractors have on them just an approx average will do.

id like to think you would get atleast 7 to 10 years out of a maintained tractor 6000 hours on a tractor here is only half used, 2500 hours we still call new lol equipment would be different

6000 hours on a well maintained tractor isnt alot really

my older machines have around 40+ hours. Most are around the 20s and 30s hour ranges

I am on year 20ish or so. Not playing right now so can't check.

no need to check say 15 to 20 years is reasonable but it must be calculating an average usage per year regardless of how many hours we do in reality

The screenshot OP provided shows the age and hours of each piece of equipment he has. All of his equipment is 150+ months old (12+years). Yes, in the screenshot it shows one of the pieces of equipment shows it has only 9 hours on it, but is 177 months (almost 15 years) old. Its time to replace equipment.

Yea, yea, I know IRL properly maintained equipment will last for decades (the newest piece of equipment my uncles have on their farm I think they bought in the 80's), but this is a game after all and it not only calculates its value not only on amount of hours on it, but also its age.
