Orphan Home Needs good small rice combine

Anyway, we have 400 acres of rice land and need a decent smaller rice combine. Preferably 4X4 with small 14' head. (diesel, hydro, preferred). Anyone who has a lead on one? Like to keep the cost under $30K. Thanks! We can give 501(c)3 tax donation credit.

I have a nice case 700 rice with a 14 foot header but the 50,000.00 question is how are you going to haul it?

I am in Houston but old rice machines are around but getting harder to find. It is going to take alot of work to get a combine in a crate...

What are you using now?

I know the wonderfull things you have done with the Case DC. I guess the question is what kind old Combine are you looking to get married too and and you need some folks here that will find them, drive or haul them to Houston and put them on a boat.

Most of the combines I have seen from the 60's are gas. If you are looking for combines from the 70's that are diesel. I would go with Gleaner. (easy to work on) I would avoid JD.

Another idea conect with some rual churchs, I am sure that is some old farmer has a an old combine that the idea of sending it around the world to help someone is something they would like.

There are lots of old MF's and IH early rotaries in the bone yards down here.

You might think about early IH rotary combine? and I would want several parts machines....

good luck
