SW Ohio | What do you guys think about the 7140 vs 7240? We are running a 7120 now and thinking about trading it on one of these, we only run a 35' macdon and 8 row corn head, we're thinking maybe we don't need as big a combine as we have, |
|
| |
|
| Either of those machines will be bigger than your 7120 so it would depend on price to me. Personally I'd go for a 7230 over a 7140 if money was a deciding factor. |

NH has a true rethresher instead of Cases stupid paddle set up |

| After the buyout a single rotor was shoehorned into the NH Zedelgem/GI chassis. Thus was born the CIH 8010.
The 7120 and 7240 are descendants of that 8010. The 7140 is descended from the IH 1480/1680/1688/2188/2388 ...

Shelburne Ontario Canada | Flagship (7240) is just a simplier machine gets my vote all the way . The tailings is awesome for wat we do. No elevator. Works well. |

Southwest Illinois | We went from a 7120 to a 7240 3 years ago. Shoe is larger, considerably more hp and you can get the 400 plus grain tank. |

NWIL | Talking new? MY16 7140s are awesome machines and outperform the 7240. New cleaning system, transmission, elevators, residue system, concaves, and a host of other items make them quite a machine. For those heads a 6140 would be the best bet. |

So what did they change? The 7088 was not the machine a 7120 was and the 7240 has quite bit more capacity than the 7120. I get that some people who are familiar with the old design but having come from a competing color I couldn't see what the old 88 style machines really offered other than come level of familiarity and comfort. There was way to much moving stuff for us to even consider going that route. |

I read this here all the time. Some of you guys must have some crap crops, enjoy going slow and only cut under perfect conditions. |

NEIN | I have a 6140 and run a 40' Mac don and 8 row corn head. I go as fast as I would want in all but the worst of green rank tall soybeans. Not sure what you would gain with more combine as speed kills the job you can do. A 6140 had more changes than any of the previous model number changes. More HP, new big elevators , different return on tailings, heavier feeder house, self leveling sieves,faster unloader, new residue spreaders hydraulically driven and cab controlled, no Apost,-the list goes on and on. I run with a neighbor and he has a Lexion 575R and I can hold my own and his is a class larger. |

| Wow. Just looked up the HP and the 6140 has almost the same hp as the older "class 7s"
Edit. Still the heads aren't too big for the machine. I hit the power limit all the time with that HP and those heads.
