Here is a link to some evaluation summaries of combines. The TR95 is included.

We ran a 95 for 11 years (1983-1994) so if I can remember I will tell you some about it. It was a good combine for its day as it would be in the same class as a JD8820, IH1480, MF860, or ACl2. We had 20' flex head and 6 row corn head on it. It could have had 8 row corn head and a 25' grain head(if it was a newer style). The 95 had a cat 3208T in it(225 hp) and was a 55" wide combine as a 85 had a 3208 at 175 hp and was 40" wide. 95 had 240 bu. grain tank , 85 was 190 bu. Fuel tank was bigger (100 gal) and in the back of the combine on the 95. Some other things were bigger on the 95 and stronger than the 85. We cut some wheat every year and it did a good job. The newer combines are better, but they also cost more. If the 95 is in good shape it would still do a good job and parts are easy to get yet. They are not to hard to work on if you have to. If you need to know anything just ask!

We ran an 85 for 10 years or so. It was a good machine although it seemed like a lot of maintenance after the hours got above the 3500 range. It did a nice job in the wheat unless you want to bale a lot of straw, I think that is with any rotary. We changed to a 86 CIH 1640. mainly because of the easier maintenance. But we do miss the power of the 85. I would make sure to get one that would accept the newer style heads (not the double chain hookup) And make sure the machine had been treated well. That was the main problem with ours. The previous owner was not easy on it. Overall I think the 95 would be a better machine with a lot of capacity.
