Well way to go guys! Now I’m worried about parts availability down the road.🤦

Realnorthernf interesting that you bring up replacing the feeder chain. I remember a couple of years ago being at my local Agro dealer in Trochu, was interested in looking at a Massey combine. Out of interest I asked what a new feeder chain was worth, they said $3800. I had just priced one for my 9070 and it was around $2200 if I remember correctly. Have to admit I never looked at a Massey again. Incidentally put a new feeder chain on my Case this fall and it was $2700 all in. As for Harvest chains, interesting that you like them. I tried one in my Tr 96 many years ago and had problems with bent and broken slats. Never bought one again, always use Oem. Certainly fortunate that we all like different brands or there would be no competition.

I will likely pull the trigger on this one. I feel it is too good to pass up.

Just an FYI Rocky Mountain Equipment has a Case combine sale on right now, up to 20% off until Dec. 31. Also as part of the deal no interest, no payments until 2024. As well I believe free inspection after next years harvest and a $2500 parts credit. No I am not a RME salesman lol.

Lol.
Ive been in your shoes with the heritage masseys, although electronics are a factor today.
Also, I'm finding parts obsolescence after 15 years an issue on so many things. Companies do not want to own inventory at all since 08. Big changes since those days. I have several examples on equipment, trucks, and engines.
Having said all that, if the price is right, treat it like a rented mule. Just don't factor a big resale. Good luck.

I had signed a deal on a combine two days ago through Rocky, but someone at another dealer got their paperwork in an hour before mine got sent in….missed by this much!🤏🏻

Maybe the gods are saying to keep my hands in my pockets!

Didn't hear this from me but.
Overbooked, aged inventory quite high out there for some dealers.
Regarding missing out, a hard working sales team makes a difference. Some are not.

I don't think parts from Massey 9500 series will be any different then any other manufacture's discontinued combine lines.. there is Just WAY TOO MUCH Money made in the parts department

My Massey dealers(yes dealers because I don't have a local/near by dealer) have told me Massey will still have Massey badged combines.. They maybe an updated 9500 series(doubtful) or Massey badged Ideals..

I guess a visit to Agriterra to quiz those in the know is in order.
