WHEAT HARVEST COMBINES

[Snider_Angus]

I was just curious what eveybody runs during wheat harvest around the country..... We ran a JD 6600 for the past 15 years and just in the last week purchased/upgraded to a JD 9510 with bin extensions(a Cadillac compared to the 6600) but I am anxious to learn how to run the dang beast... It will be fun... WELL just list what you all cut with.. As long as its not a CASE!!! :cboy: :lol2:

Not counting the McCormick Reaper which is still under the shelter, the last combine we had was a JD 4400. Sold it for 5 G's a few years ago.

We had gleaners but got a 6620 JD sidehill about eight years ago, it goes out along the hills alot nicer than the gleaners did.

my dad had run New Holland twin rotors for years. I currently have a TR 98. It seems to get the job done. :kid:
