So I'm buying my first combine and it's a cih 1660. It's got fairly low hrs and is in awesome shape for it's age. I'm just starting to doubt how much it will take. And how it would tack up against a massey 850 860 or 7720 Titan 2?

I have a 25ft westward swather and normally wheat bushels at 80-100 bu/acre barley around 120-130 and canola around 60. Will this combine be able to handle this type of swather width?

Also if I'm to bale the straw is that possible? I hear it chews the straw pretty bad? Never had experience with rotaries though.

Around 320 acres of irrigation now, I used to rent a 9600 Deere but it's not penciling out and the guy I rent from wants to sell it. I don't feel like going in debt over farm machinery so I have to find something else lol. Just starting out on my own and I'm a youngin so...

So how much can I expect to lose on canola? And what can I do to minimize the losses?

Alright thank for the insight! Appreciate it, I'll just have to try it out this year and if I don't like it I'll just sell it next year lol.

Is there any weaknesses or things I should look for before I get to harvesting, already changing the impellers a couple belts stuff like that.
