Glen W.-Has that 480 hours been all on wheat? If so I’m struggling to understand why volcanic soil wears the combine when presumably no dirt goes through the combine. Does the straw carry abrasive dust in? Is the grain especially hard or abrasive?
I think in the plains a wheat machine is expected to wear less than a corn/soybean machine. Maybe I’m wrong about that?
I don't know anything about plains wheat or corn/soybean but I'd they wore like our conditions I guarantee they would be built different from the factory. I do know a JD guy sends a 5 gallon bucket of soil from the area in to JD as they have felt this is the most abrasive they have seen. Takes fan blades on the engine down too.
Here are a couple pictures from a better wheat year in 2018.

Anyone ever switch from or to Case Flagship to S Series Deere Combine?
