little al, these changes which also included a pph hydraulic system on the 1688. It has two large spin-on filters under hydraulic resevoir. More power. The only thing to be concerned of looking at a 1680 is, for a year or so some grain machines were built with the long cleaning system but the old style cleaning fan. There also were changes in the torque sensor unit driving the rotor.

should i look for a 1680 with long screens or look for a 1688, how about a 2166 or 2188 are these combines out of my price range of 30k. most of the machine in this area with rotors are prepared for rice with i have to change the rotor out or anything to pick corn.
