Unfortunately I can tell you this is not necessairly the case. Your acreage and volume run through the machine is the same and makes the rate of wear about the same. They should build bigger machines heavier than they do to accomplish what you think they should but they dont. And as far as to trade or not to trade I have always felt like updated engeneering is usually worth the cost over rebuilding when it is time to trade especially with combines. Good Luck | |
