I grow a very few acres of grain each year. It is ridiculous to own a combine, but also impossible to hire anyone to harvest for me.
So . . . I can cut and bale or own a combine, or just plow it under. But then there is the fun of driving and harvesting. I?m 75 and love this kind of thing!!! And, I know I won?t be able to ?play? at this much longer. I also own a 1970 F600 grain truck and an auger wagon. There are several (affordable $3K to $5K) self propelled combines for sale on craigslist now. There are NO pull-types for sale.
JD 4400 with grain head (this is the cheapest ? under $3000) dsl with grain header
(Two) JD 6620 turbo
Gleaner L3
IHC 1420
Which should I consider MOST??? Why?
Go ahead - tell me I?m nuts, but I?m having the time of my life too!!! Kelly
