Combines Combine Prices

[bm]

My guess is that the Gleaner has heads with it because most of those old ones do. Don't know much about Gleaner, but not many people have them in our area of Indina. All the "old" ones come in with heads to Deere and CaseIH dealers and can wholesale for around $10,000 for the box and 2 heads. No a dealer that got offered $5000 for a beautiful N7 with 4WD with 8R head and 20' Flex Head. Whole package. And yes, that's probably about the right price for a 7720. They aren't worth much anymore because people are starting to get the 9000s with some age on them and the old ones may bring in the 30s. Which would you rather have - a 9000 for $30K or a 7720 TII for $21KIJ No brainer there. My 2 cents.

HonestlyIJ I think I'd take the 7720. Those old Deere's are tough machines, despite being lacking in the design department. The 9000's don't have NEAR the reliability of the old machines. When you hear told several times that holes wearing through elevators and grain bin floors in 1500 hours, you know they're not built for the long haul.

I agree with Tom, if someone GAVE me a 9000 JD, I would either trade it for an older 7720 or 8820 JD or a Gleaner. Deere has put so many mods. on the 9000 that the N series Gleaners now look "fault free" when they were new. And the older JD's had a cleaner grain sample than the 9000 series.

Ive rode in a 6620 once, it seemed very hot in the cab to me,that alone would be reason enought to want a Gleaner,white cab, rear mounted engine.

I don't own Deere I run Case but the best combine Deere ever made was and still is the 8820 Titan 2 it would do as much or more then the first 9600's had a better grain sample and still today has a better re sale value then the 9000 series. In fact some of my customers on the harvest run ask me what sort of older combine I would buy to do about 700 acres and I tell them buy an 8820. My two cents.

What part of Indiana you from I would like to see this N7 might be interested if its that cheapIJ John Ferguson

that sounds like a steal, the salvage value is much higher than that i priced the factory RWA from a junk yard and they wanted $6,000

Deere's resale has plummeted and Gleaner's has sailed, mostly that of the series 2 combines. This is mostly due to supply and demand. Deere has ATTEMPTED to build (attempted being the key word here) a rotary combine and has traded many of their core conventional customers out of them into their rotary pile. Consequently, there are too many used Deere conventionals for the demand that is out there because, guess what, not everyone, despite what Deere believes, wants their inferior combines. Some of us want a combine that puts grain in the tank and runs from year to year without putting thousands of dollars into it annually. That's why we're on this page.

I was at a sale today where a 95 model 9500 with duals and 1700 seperator hours sold for $39,000.00. If your looking for a green combine now is the time to buy.

Does it make any sense to buy a combine that plugs every time a cloud passes overheadIJ If you are in an area where beans go 20 bushels and dry down to 8% every year a 9xxx Deere would be okay, but most areas in the Corn Belt do better than that. Tom in MN
