I would go with the IH. Maybe up to $19,000 with all the heads, depending on condition, of course.

I'd be a little concerned the it has 2 pickup heads... if it's done a lot of pickup work, it may have had a fair amount of dirt run through it. Here, pickup work usually means pinto beans. Pinto beans going through a combine is almost the equivelent of bead blasting the inside of the machine... very tough on combines. If it was picking up grain windrows, you're probably okay.

If you don't know where the machine came from, ask lots of questions. Also, be sure it's outside when looking at it. Dimly lit machine sheds can hide lots of little problems on combines.

Good luck.
