Well.......I think it's time to pull the trigger. I have been looking for about a year or two now trying to decide between Green or Red. Green has 2 dealers within about 20 miles Red has a new dealer about 30 miles away.
Currently, I have a day job that keeps me busy on the road. I farm during the weekends.
Small acreage only 60 acres, been planting soybeans and some wheat. No plans for corn I am a one man show with no help.
Possibly moving up to 100- 150 acres for beans only in a few years when I get off the road.....
Custom combine man (Has Red)may be getting out of the business.
Never operated a combine so I am looking for the easiest to maintain and learn on. I don't want to get too old of a machine since I plan to keep it for a while. I have been told AC is a must, also looking for a buddy seat for mama / grand kids.
The wife said a neighbor has a 1460 for sale. Price unknown right now.
Is it better to stay in the 1620 /1640 (6600)size or go bigger 1660 / 1680 (7720)???
I plan to have a dealer mechanic look over whatever I decide on.
Also what size flex head should I be looking at? I have no hills....I am on flatland.
Thanks all,
Bartman
