Hey, guys. I'm a small farmer in central Iowa. I farm 240 acres and harvest with an old JD 4400. I used to work at a dealer on green machines (sorry), so I don't know all of the ins and outs of axial flow machines and heads. I may have an opportunity for 2010 to custom harvest 850 acres of corn/beans and I'm thinking about the best bang for the buck. My dad runs a 1644/1044/1020, and I've been impressed, so here is what I'm thinking. Since I love to tune combines and I don't have tons of cash, I'm thinking about a high hour 1680/1063/1020 (25' or30'). I know I need tracker, but what do I look for and what do I stay away from? I'd appreciate your insight. Thanks
Mark
