Combines Is it possible to find an extra slick 8820IJ

mohall north dakota has a few nice 8820s. what price range r ya lookin atIJIJIJIJ

Im in Oklahoma so that's a little ways from me, but I'm mainly looking for a babied like new 8820 if thats possible. I'm not sure about a price, it would just depend on condition. Thanks for your response.

I know it is off your topic but I am curious how does the wheat look in your part of the country. And for the record I think an 8820 Titan 2 is the best combine John Deere has ever made. Just my .02 cents worth

I'm in NW OK, and we have been dry at moments. But we have been fortunate to get rains when they were needed. During planting we got several light rains and you just about couldn't plant at a wrong time. The wheat is looking really good, army worms have moved in but most have sprayed and that threat is almost over. And if we keep the moisture coming it looks to be an above average harvest. I got a 7720 at the moment and couldn't be more satisfied, I just would like to keep it and go with the 8820 for more capicity, and I can't see why going with a 9600 when I'm satisfied with the 20 series. Just my 2 cents

they are askin 23000 bucks for the 8820 i think they r 85 models 30000 hrs on them. 10000 $$$ worth of new parts

Go to machinerylink.com or fastline.com on google. You might find something you like.

Bought an '86 8820 in 2002. It had 4000 hours on it,but looked nicer than some I had looked at with less hours. Paid $16,000 for it on a consignment sale in SD. You may want to look at a higher houred machine, if it has good care otherwise. Myself I wanted to find one that needed some work, as I installed the St. John solid cylinder. He's out of Kansas, so not too far from you. Might want to talk to Terry there, he'll help you out. Those modifications really make a combine out of the 8820. I totally agree they are the best combine JD has made! What do you think the STS's produced today are going to be like when they are 20 years oldIJ If I was to buy a new machine today I'm strongly looking at the 9790 MF rotor. The 8820 will remain on this farm for a long time though, for my primary combine for at least a few years; and after that as a backup or second combine when running beans.

8820'S ARE JUNK. IF YOU HAVE EVER HAD TO WORK ON ONE YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. A 9600 WITH 5000 HRS OON IT WIll CUT NEAR TWICE AS MUCH, AND DO A MUCH BETTER JOB. THERE ARE ENOUGH AROUND THAT THEY ARE GETTING PRETTY CHEAP. MOST PARTS ARE AlSO PRICED BETTER FOR 9000'S. SAVE YOURSElF A BIG HEADACHE AND JUST MOVE UP.
