Subject: Small timer combine


Top middle of MO. land of green hills and grass
Less than 100 a of row crop, hoping to grow a little over the coming years, but not huge expectations. not many custom cutters here. All beans this year, will plant corn with an 8x30 planter next year.

There are a few combines coming up for sale around here soon, wondering which would be most effective for me. Most comparisons I see are between a F or F2 vs a 4400, and I'm not sure how a 4400 compares to a 4420

JD4420, both heads, private sale, good operator

Gleaner F3 RWA

Gleaner F2 RWA

Last 2 are at an estate auction with a 6x30 corn head and a couple platforms. The F3 I think is decent.

Deere dealer 30 mi north or 40mi east, Agco dealer 70mi S or 60mi SW

Questions..
Gleaner easier to work on, I've heard 4400s are getting tough to get parts for, how about the 4420?

JD easier to get heads for, how tough would it be to find a 4x30 gleaner corn head to better match my planter...or should I drive better and plant 8 and harvest 6?

What kind of capacity difference is there between the 3? From what I see, sounds like the gleaner probably higher capacity, lighter weight machine?
