7120 ore 8120

if you are going to try to replace both machines, you better go with the 8120.

whats your availibilty in SA guys in aus talking a year to get one.

Farmertony, currently theirs 6 7120 's in the harbor, 4 of them is spoken for. In may 09 theirs another shipment due, 6 6088, 6 7088 ,6 7120, 4 8120 and one of your monsters, the dealer down here is really good, sell 177 combines last year, that gave case a 61% market share

Afxrotor, where are your location. I'm also in South Africa, Bultfontein.

I'd say go with the 8120 at least, maybe even the 9120.

in corn you might do as many as those two combines but beans u will slow down a bit...

on avg what are your yields??? what crops?

Bet a 9120 will ask tony.......Be close with a 8120 in corn.

Not yet, but we are going too. Leaving tommorrow to go back for two more loads.

The idea is to get one machine to do the crop, 3000 ha corn and 600 ha soys, the macine would be traded every second completed harvest thou

Our corn is average 7 tons/ha dry-land and 11 tons irrigation( 600 ha irrigation ) and about 3.2 ton/ha on soys

There is 2.47 acres in a hectare so 3000 x 2.47 =7410 of corn and 1482 acres of soys. Since he is using hectares I'm assuming he is using a metric tonne which is 2205 pounds approximately. Therefore 7 x 2205= 15435 pounds a hectare divide that by 56 (standard test weight of corn) gives you 275.625 bushels a hectare divided by 2.47 equals 111.5 bu/ac on dryland corn. The irrigated corn would yield around 175 bu/ac and the soys work out to roughly 47.6 bu/ac. With the soys you have to remember to divide by 60 instead of 56 because soys are 60 pounds to the bushel.

Clear as mud?

If I calculate correctly you are doing around 2700 bushel an hour. A 7120 will do that much with out even trying. If your dryland is averaging around 110 you couldn't even give it a workout with a 12 row head.

MX110 the last part of that was clear but all mud before hand...

Thanks
