Nance County, Ne
I would strongly advise you to disregard the R-60 option. We owned one here for 5 yrs (1991 model)and that machine was the biggest pile of s#$t we have ever owned. My uncle had one also and would agree with our hate towards that machine. Another uncle has had an R-50 (still has it) for 10yrs and loves the machine. It however is different than the 60. There was just to many moving parts on the 60's that went wrong and could go wrong. We always had it taken in for yearly work and still would cost us as much in repairs than the payment itself for the combine. The local Agco dealer has I believe 1 R-60 left in the country and they are trying to get the person into an 62. Mechanic said when it happens it would be alot better knowing there isn't anymore of them left to service.

We leased Green 9510 one year and it almost made us switch from silver to green. Ended up trading it in for a R-62 and we thought we were in heaven with it. Now have an R-65 and it's comparable to the 62 except for some cab improvements along with some others.
