I'm looking to rent 50 acres from a neighbor to plant corn for feeding my steers. I am looking for a smaller older combine & found this one on e-bay : item # 300036916165 I already have a 494 A JD wr planter. This combine seems to be what I'm looking for & is only about 100 miles away.
Are these good combines? Any info. from 55 owners past & present will be appreciated. Thanks!

Been looking in here a few times. No bid so far. I'm not a user or fan of Ebay and don't plan to be. But I am curious as to whether this is the usual way things are bid on, to just wait to the last minutes and bid away?

Since I'm very close to Owatonna, I could look at it for someone else if interested if they could find out the precise location of (and get permission to look at) the unit.

I practically grew up on one alot like that one. 55s were supposed to be three row machines by our's had a two row corn head like that one. Seemed to be a good match.HJ

It's a good looking machine and low hours for the age. Can't believe you haven't bid yet or bought it.

Pics are easy to lighten up on paint shop so no problem and wanted to see what it looked like too even if too far for me. If it was only 100 miles I'd be bidding though lol. Good luck hope you can get it.

Great combines.

Nice work with the photos Glen, you can see it a lot better! Looks like it has the varible speed reel and hydraulic reel lift- very handy.

I'd say go for it. I know I would've already bid on it if it were closer to me!

Dad had an early 55. Good machine. This one is a 1967, 20 years newer than the one I"m familiar with. Owatonna is about 15 miles from me. Most old machines like that (even if JD!) are worth very little.
