The major diff.s are width. and engine. 850 50" cyl 354 turboed 860 60" cyl. 354 turboed, or 540 V8 natural. Of course wider walkers, and cleanning.larger grain tank, HTH Joe
Is it a hydro or v.speed if it's a hydro it is intercooled and turbocharged.If it's a v.speed it's just turboed.My neighbor has an 850, the only thing i ever hear him grouch about is the same problem i have with our 860,s, the air conditioner tends to break down on the @n$% hottest day of the year
Wow, they know what they want for that. look at www.radkeimplement.com_ compare what they have to what you are looking at. I sold my 85' 860 V8 hydro in excellent cond. for 18K and I was glad to get that out of it. The combine had 2400 hrs. I would say that a really clean 850 with 4-spd should bring 13K tops.
Yup!! That sounds like a little too much. I'd say not more than 25 and depending where in Sask. you are 30Ft header might be too much for that rig. We run 24s on our 860s and in a good year at 5mph I can make that poor thing snort. As far as the Rakeup goes my neighbor runs a 2388 and a2188, he had Rakeups but after two yrs he got rid of them. he said they shattered the canola and they had too many moving parts after 2 yrs he said all he did was fix fix fix .
I have a 850 for sale if any of you guys are interested. I'd like to get $5000 for it. I have up dated the concaves, rasp bars, feeder house chain, and it has airfoil chaffer. It is field ready. There is no MF daeler in the area and there is no interest in to buy it.
