Central Minnesota | Whatever you find, you'll probably have to stick some money into it. Even though a dealer or private seller may say it's "field ready", you'll have to put some money into it. One persons definition of "field ready" can be different from yours. One dealerships mechanic will inspect and say "field ready" and you can take it to another dealership, and they can find 5k in parts that need to be put into it. Combines are a high wear item. Alot of bearings, belts, chains, and hydraulic pumps on them. You can always find something that needs to be fixed, replaced, repaired on a combine. You can make an arguement for red or green which one would be better. But, go with what you know. If you don't want to learn a whole new ball of wax, and do the majority of the work on your 6620, then look for another green conventional. They didn't change anything major all the way up thru the xx10 series. Still the same basic philsolophy. So you will know the machine. And know what needs to be replaced and when. You want to try your hand at a new game, and have good red dealer support nearby, don't be afraid to switch. There's nothing wrong with a red combine. But there's nothing wrong with a green one. Either way, going to a newer series combine from a 20 series, you will think you died and went to heaven. Quite a difference between a 20 series and a 9000 series combine.
Just remember, doesn't matter what color, any of them can have problems. Just depends on how well the previous owner took care of it. | |
