The problem with going fast in crops like lentils and canola is reel loss. So go wider right but a 45ft heads seem to be about the maximum for getting down roads in my area. Driving down some of our tight approaches with a 61' in tow, yikes.

its also about how your header fits the land. My 35footer fit the land better than the 40foot I have now. Just little skips and misses that show up due to not fitting the rolling contours.

We find the 45 ft Mac Don flex cuts way cleaner than our 35 fts we used to run .
and we have a lot of very sharp hog backs

[furrowtickler]

And no they are not even close to new or expensive
they are older FD75’s that have been rebuilt , ones a 2016 and a 2018 with lots of miles on em

Some of this was literally laying in the furrows

I think manufacturers are chasing a market share that may lead to an oversupply of extra large combines that are hard to sell to the second buyer.


But the first manufacturer allowed to build a new and slightly improved JD9500 equivalent without all the emissions crap and a comfortable cab , slightly larger grain hopper and heavier drives with no automatics and the monitors out of the way will have a real winner.

Nothing irritates me more than being asked if I want my combine settings changed once I get it dialled in for the crop.

Don’t think ur gonna like the price of an updated 9500 either…..

My guess it be north of $500k.

I get the argument for sure, there has to be a correction soon cause a $400k used combine didn’t make sense to most, let alone a million dollar one.

I definitely agree on the bigger header and slower ground speed.
Already seeing the local dealer having some issues moving all the BTOs 1 year old equipment so they are becoming creative trying to get the mid sized farmers into the overpriced bigger machines

They are not depreciating those big combines enough. Does the work of 2 or 3 units but dealers are trading them into new for 1.25x cost of S790 trade.

If used X9 were $750k like they should be they would be selling fast.

Absolutely agree , that’s with all colours
they only give the deal to the first buyer, everyone else get the shaft
that’s why the dealers are $200,000 above the auction prices on same machine, dealers are screwed and it’s there own fault for catering to the “big guys”
it’s been happening for 6 months, and about to get worse, or better for those with patience.
just sit on sidelines , big scrambling going on at dealerships now . They have expected the second buyer to pick up the cost of the first, it ain’t happening.
And it’s about fukin time

[furrowtickler]

When the big guys can’t make it work with 30-35% off , there is going to be a massive chain reaction.

[furrowtickler]

In a crazy way it’s like NDP / liberal thinking that someone else will always pick up the tab for their spending habits …. Guess what it’s done

Excluding the “without emissions” part isn’t that the 2017 and later T670. From what I’ve read it’s wider, longer and more HP vs earlier T670s / rebadged 9600s. Basically 9770 capacity in a conventional.

The newly announced T6-800 would have the automation and most likely cost 750k or more.
