Cleveland, MS. Own small farm near Booneville, MS | My brother bought a 615 new in either 72 or 73. We ran it for 8 or 9 years. We didn't do corn at the time. It was only used in soybeans. It was reliable for us and did a decent job. At that time yields were not what they are now. It had a 13' or 14' head and would cut 30 bu/ac beans at about 4 mph. The last few years we had it we also had a JD 4400 with the same size header. The 4400 would outrun, out cut, and put cleaner grain in the tank, but it was also a higher capacity combine. Between the two I much preferred the 4400, but that is just my opinion. |
