I'd like to find a good old pull behind combine for some small time farming. What do you guys recomend? I've been noticing quite a few of them for sale the past few years and they allways seem to be in pretty good shape. With a lot of people running big threshing rigs around here up into the late 50's, early 60's, these little combines must have became obsolete before they're usefull life was up when farmers moved toward the self propelled combines in the 60's.

My neighbor has a JF Fabriken Combine/Harvester he'd let go reasonably. He use to farm 75 acres of soy beans with it.
We're located in the Atlanta area.

IH made pull-behind combines up into the 1970s. The last models were the 80 and then the 82, these use an auger/chain combination to move the cut crop from the head into the threshing cylinder. Previous models used canvas belts, which are usually rotten or mouse infested by now.

I picked up an IH 82 in good condition for $225 last year. A friend of mine found a good JD 42 for $250 and likes that model as well (that model also uses an auger/chain system). So if you do some looking a bargain can still be found. Hope this helps.

There are many good pull type combines around. A combine does last a long time, but sooner or later you will need some part you can't find. That's when it is nice to have a parts combine. IH and JD made a lot of good pull types. In my opinion the JD 's were superior but the IH were easier to fix. And you will be fixing. The amount of hp you have available will affect your choice.

The 45 is a self propelled rig. The 42 is the pulled version of the same combine. Ed

The 42 is the pulltype version of the 40. A smaller machine than the 45 and the 45 had no equivalant version pulltype, they were only selfpropelled

Jeff,

It is better than you think.

I've passed up fairly late model machines with all the bells and whistles for as little as $1200.

And, I think you are right in that it is awfully hard to wear out a combine.

Allan

Jeff I purchased a AC 72 all crop recently. Its a real learning experience. Tom Yaz who also posted here is in the process of finding parts for me. I paid $550.00 for her, but can only guess what my final cost might be. If anyone in upstate NY has one for sale I would be interested in a parts machine. Im hopeful it will do 50 to 100 acres of soybeans yearly. Lou

Lou, Hi. To do 50-100 acres with a pull type is quite a feat. Better by 2 to get it done. How wide of cut is the combine. Is it a 2 row?
Good luck

Well that 100 acre figure is real ambicious on my part, probably peak closer to 50. Im pretty sure it has a 72 inch cut. Any information is welcome, this is all new to me. Lou

i've done 6 acres of beans in a day with mine but think i had a break down that day.depends on how they are standing ,yielding,and what you got to dump in, plus how close is your gas tank to fill tractor.a neighbor used to do aproximatly 120 -160 acres with a jd 42 . he had a corn and bean head for his.
