Strathcona, mn | I started with a n5, r7, r60(p3), r72 (deutz), r72 cummins, r76. For the money get at least a 92 or newer. The r42/52 are nearly the same price as a r62/72. I would recommend a r62 due to the full size rotor compared to the short rotor r42/52. R62/72 had an upgrade in 96' to a longer shoe. For your crops and headers it isn't a necessary. There are plenty of mods to wake the them up and increase capacity. I've had gleaner on my farm since I started 10 years ago and I've uograded often but I've never had to have a service truck on the farm yet. Almost everything on them is easy to service and fix. In 2003 when they went to the rx5 series they upgraded cabs. I don't mind the rx2 cabs at all, the newer one is an improvement but not a deal buster for me. The rx5 machines are canbus electronics which make it harder for an average joe to troubleshoot. I bypass red, yellow, and green to get to my silver dealer but they are one heck of a good dealer. A well tuned r series can run with machines a class or two larger in a lot of different crops with less loss, better sample, and less fuel. | |
