There is no "usual". New, one year old, five year old, ... Decisions depend on price, wear, opportunity, rebuilding cost, ...

How are your crews finding the performance of the JD walkers compared to the lexion_STSIJ I'm interested because we're toying with the idea of trading a NH TX64+ on a New JD 9660i WTS.

In corn they are very close, but that probably doesn't apply to you. In low yielding wheat, like we have out west they are very close, too. When the yield goes up, especially irrigated, the STS does quite a bit more. Walker loss sets the limit. In Europe it's different, because of the adons in the walker area. Have you tried a NH CXIJ We had a guy from Germany working for us one season and he likes the CX much better than the lexion. That's what they bought after trying both.

We looked at the CX but our nearest agri contractor "competitors" have a 840 CX and our 570 lexion can run rings round it!!! (not in the same class I know) Also they are forced to move it between jobs at 4_6am because it is overwidth for our road network,this is one of the reasons we run the "narrow body" Claas lexion 570.

Those that were loaded on the train were export machines headed for Turkmenistan and Russia. The other half that were on the train were mostlikely 9880 STS headed for Europe. Majority of the train loads are head for port to ship overseas. Most everything North American is shipped by truck. Additionally, the mix right now is 20% walker, but only till the export machines for CIS (Confederation of Independent States formerly know as USSR) are complete. Then back to more like 5%.
