Hey guys. This is my first post on this site. I am a custom harvester from Wisconsin and I have only had walker machines in the past.
There aren't many STS machines around here yet, but I am currently looking at a 2003 9650STS from a farmer and was wondering what to look for as wear points and problem areas. This machine has about 1500 separator hours on it. Is there any major work that is done around this many hours? How long does the rotor components typically last? How can you tell if the threshing elements and concave is still in good condition? Is there any advantages from a late model 50 series to an early model? What else should I look at?
I appreciate any responses!!
Thanks
