| Found a decent one with 2500 hours. Are the parts getting expensive since not as many were made. We won't be putting many hours on it a year. I just don't need anything bigger than the 4420 I have now. I won't to adapt the green heads to this too. |

Statesville, NC | The D358 German diesel was a good engine in tractors running 2400 rpm, but in that combine they ran 3000 rpm. I think it shortened the life quite a bit. I thought I wanted a 1420 a few years ago, and it seemed a lot of them had recent engine work or a "new" engine. If I wanted a combine that size, I would look for the rare 1620 with a Cummins. |

Schlegel Farms, Hagerstown Indiana | There are a lot of after market place that makes parts for the 1440 and 1460.
I also bet you can get one for a bout the same money |

| I would go with the 1440 or 1460 for sure we bought a 1440 2 years ago and love it. We're runing a 216 deere head with a bish adapter that works really well the only problem I have with the 40 is its just a bit under powered if conditions are a bit wet. But with 3300 hours I can complain. Good luck matt |

| We have a 1420 most parts are still available through CaseIH. Most of the rotor parts are available through shoup. The problem finding used parts is that they did not share many parts with the larger 14 or 16 series combines. With that said we have had very few break downs with our 1420 it has about 3000 hours on it now. So far it has been a great combine for us. |

Itta Bena Mississippi | A good 4420 will eat a 1420 alive in less than great conditions and hang with it in perfect ones. BTDT.

MO | Get a 1460. Not a lot of 1420's to get parts off of, 1460's are still pretty plentiful. I'm a red guy but a 1420 won't hang with a 4420 in beans or wheat. |
