| Pretty much the same review I would give after 3 years. Grain tank is too small for the class size of machine. You could starve wildlife behind the machine. I had one of the main shaft bearings fail last year. It took until the next day to fix. I am learning that I grease most everything every day, especially those big bearings. Follow the grease lines up and you will see the ones I am talking about. This one is a 2007 and starting to see hydraulic hoses go bad from dry rot. I had one fail last year and had one fail that goes to the header controls this year. Most frustrating thing on the combine. Mechanically we have done 1000 separator hour things this year like shaker bushings and variator bushings plus a couple belts. I spent $7000 in maintenance on the machine this year and it will get me over a combined 6000+ acres in 3 years. I hear much bigger numbers from other machines. Not saying they are better or worse over time but so far it's not a money pit. | |
