I have 2 R72's,98 and 99. My dad retired,this last year. I don't think I need 2 R72's for 1700 acres. I bought the 99 R72 after I looked at that 62 up north. I just feel that one R72 with 30ft bean head and 12 row corn head will handle it just fine.I will just keep an auger wagon beside the one combine,besides Dad isnt there everyday now that he is retired,so we are a man short.
