Hagen Brothers farms,Goodrich ND

I run the other brand of red combine and love em, but must say that ANY brand that never sees a part replaced until it fails, gets to be an absolute POS by the time it is 10-15 years old. It has so many parts within hours of failure, that the downtime is a killer.
When you find one like that, you need to buy it for a fraction of it's normal value and be ready to spend a whole winter rebuilding it or just turn around and walk away.
Mine are 28 and 31 years old, but are as reliable as any combine only a few years old, but they get what they need before they need it.
