I see an IH turbo diesel 915. 4 row corn head and a grain/bean head of some sort are available separately. Looks like a machine I could afford to buy as a starter but don't know much about them. Has a real air of antiquity about it compared to #2.
#2 is a 1460 IH. This is a really nice looking machine on the outside. Has over 5000 hrs and I have not been able to get up there to look at it yet. It's over an hour away and I have a feeling I can't afford it. Nice machine, I have done some homework on these. I would rate it as the best bet of the three I have coming up at auction. Two heads available at separate sale.
#3 is a Gleaner L. I am an IH guy with a strange attraction to silver combines. I just like them. And, thanks to a lot of reading and advice on this forum, I have some knowledge of them. This is a fairly large machine. I would prefer an M or F, especially if it has a "3" attached to the letter. Gonna let this one slide on by. Not too many positive remarks out there about the initial L combines.
