Combines Thinking about a Deere

[dakota]

I have run a harvest with 1688s and rebuilt those. I have been through 9610s. STS's and 9650 walkers. I get around the 2388s a little. If you have CIH, I see no reason for switching from a machine point of view.

 

[chads]

There is no way I would buy a walker machine. Thats old technology.

Now, now Chad...Rotaries are old news too. I do believe White and IH had them in the late 70'sIJIJIJIJIJIJIJIJIJIJIJIJIJ

 

[chads]

I just cant imagine having something shake up and down like that is going to last very long. I do not want to make my teeth rattle. I CANT believe John Deere still makes them. What a joke!!

 

[Bigsky]

So how does the chaffer and sieve work on your rotaryIJ

So do NH CXs, some lexions, MF 8680s and C-62s. lots still make them. Not just Deere.

Hey guys, I think someone is ticked off at the real Chads and is trying to make a ruckus. I would not reply to the statements above.

I'm not so sure Massey and Gleaner still make the walkers. I sure didn't see any when I took the plant tour. In NH's defence, they sure don't push their walker machine like Deere did. The last one we had was a 9600. There's still broken walkers lying around the lot from that combine. And thats a job to put them in too.

You could be right. They might be more of a European thing. Come to think of it I haven't seen one of them for a while (Agcos walkers). But there are a few of NHs CXs up here in Canada. Those CX 880s look like a big machine.

Perhaps...Something doesn't feel right. Capital "C" Chads, I don't think would be caught dead in a Deere.
