Combines I m a believer

They taught you better at MSU. You did pass English Comp 101 didn't youIJ. Proof read what you write or we will have your sheepskin revoked.

Take my sheepskinIJ At least I'll still have my red blood and a non-hyperized combine. Boy business must be slow for you to have time to argue with me. Besides this aint english or MSU it the real world. We can't have our cake and eat it to.

argueIJ No. It is not chivalrous to fight unarmed opponents in a battle of wit.

fight no fight here in order to give an unbiased opinion on all combines you would first have to operate most of them. I have run deere 4400, 6620, 7720, 7700, 9500, 9510, 9600, 9610, and 9750. Gleaner A2, K2, M2, R52, and R62. Only 2 new holland's 1400 and TR70. And CIH 1660, 1666, 2188, and 2388. sorry never ran a cat but seen them run. My opinion is never bashing, biased or BS. Just what I have learned over the years. As my lat grandfather told me, "yes I once owned a gleaner then I bought a combine. You may think I dont know alot but I've been inside and out of these machines and none are fun to work on. But until I can be proved wrong I'll be red though and though, because We've ran the same 1660 since 1991 and, knock on wood have had no major downtime and never been down for more than a few hours or till morning for parts or a flat tire. You know bigger grain tank and more horsepower don't do you any good sittting in the shop. Just my 25 cents worth.

Thank you for your unbiased astute observations relayed here to us. I am in awe. At recess see if your nose has grown a tad.

Oh gee Tim. That was a tacky post. Due to our aquaitance I couldn't resist however. I will try to refrain from such in the future and stick to the facts, Mam, just the facts. (For those of you OlD enuff to remember Dragnet, shoot I did it again, sorry)

Roadfarmer- Operating Ertl combines don't count. Heck, I had a J.D. 5020 that I just lOVED as a little kid, but I wouldn't be caught dead with one now! Tom langan

What gives with all the newer combines than the GREAT 1660, the 1666,2188,2388, the 9510,9610,9750 and the R52, R62 that are all newer than the 1660. Your facts are like SWISS CHEESE, holes everywhere! That's 8 different combines in 10 seasons, either that 1660 is broken alot to need a loaner or your story is really off. I know 2 "wheat run operators" that haven't had that many machine changes and brands in that amount of years. This would make a good novel(novels are of course fiction),My Combine Adventures by Roadfarmer! Dream on buddy, but we like facts, not fiction here in the Gleaner section.

If you really must know I worked for a deere dealer setting up and delevering combines also have many freinds that farm and the chance to run many makes or make is a 1660 and has been since 1990. if you would take your galvinized blinders off you would have read that!

tbran you have a R50 and a trailer to haul it on BRING IT ON IF YOU DARE! If its not in the wrong field harvesting test plots of 300 bushel corn. Or receiving a plaque as the best of show at the antique machinery show down town
