Yes, a bit under powered in good stand of wheat, just have to slow down. But that combine does an excellent job of cleaning and saving grain from going out the back. As Case Nutty said, CNH isn't the best in having many parts for them. I was able to get a few things, such as rubber bushings for the straw rack. [Reply]   [No Email]

One had 'old abe' graphics and one had 'dollar sign' graphics. Both were gas and had cabs. The newer one had a pickup reel and floating cutterbar with auto header height control. The older one had a rigid head with a pickup reel. They and the pair of 2-row corn heads with them had been unused for at least 15 years, and were still very nice looking. The owner had switched to hay-only at that time. The property was sold in 2007. There never was an auction, the machinery just disappeared, and then the buildings were demolished . . . don't know what became of the combines. [Reply]  [No Email]
