Combines n7 vs 7720 t2

You did not define the parameters of our little debate, ilovgreen. Better in what wayIJ Are we talking capacity, seviceability, ease of operation, resale, product support, better reflector of sunlight....IJ I think you're trying to start something. Well I'm game. I only have general knowledge of that fine example of Curtis Baldwin's legacy, so I'll leave that to JOGE or Tbran or Mr. langan. I'll take up the green banner.

I was "blessed" with an N6 and, at the same time, was running an 8820 Deere. Although the N6 was a systematic exercise of technical apptitude (it must have been built on a Tuesday morning after a long weekend) it definitely had its benefits when it was working properly. The Deere excelled in wheat, barley or most small grains as far as capacity and straw quality was concerned, but the Gleaner couldn't be beat in corn, especially high moisture corn. Since I also dairy farm, high moisture corn AND straw quality are BOTH important. In the category of servicability, the Gleaner wins hands down, no question! Both machines worked equally well in beans. The problems with my N6 can be attributed to poor dealer service and a service manager with an attitude. I'm glad to say, both the dealer and service manager have been replaced, which lead to my decision to deal my N6 on a C62, which has been working pretty good so far!

JoJoMac, the Shakespere of the Silver Following! You leave me speachless, no doubt to the delight of the rest of the tribe here!! I always look forward to reading your posts!

Hey JoJo, nice piece.I liked the bit about the pipe wrench marks.

Also, keep in mind that those European Castle drawbridge mechanisms were designed with cutting edge technology for Medieval times. I wonder what Deere's excuse was for their rotary radiator screensIJ Tom langan

It isn't a rotary rad screen Tom, it's a Single Tine rad screen!

that N7 is a rock and roll machine. Gleaner should have put that engine on the n6 instead of winding up that 426. True story. About 4 years ago I was at a local customers of ours, he had an old 1980 n7 running a 8 row hugger head and i was in the cab with him(yeah it was cramped) and the local deere dealer came in with a new 9600 and asked if he wanted to demo it. from the farmers mouth to mine and the deere salesmans ears, "if that thing can keep up with my old n7 ill try it" The deere dealer left, didnt even put the 9600 combine in the field. was he ticked or did he know what many n7 owners already knowIJ

Yep,i got hooked on the need for speed when we got our first N7. john
