In reading the post below about the 6620 combine I found myself wondering what model of combine would be "good enough" for a tiny hobby grain farm. I'm looking at maybe 50 acres a year of dryland wheat (30bu. about ave. around here). I'm probably going to have to get my own combine since I'll be so small it will not really be worth any of the neighbors' time to cut. Also due to having a full time job the trucking/storing schedule will be an issue. I see 7700 and 6600 series combines for 3-5000 fairly often. I see 105 and 95 series combines too for around 1500-3000. Obviously the older combines will most likely be more worn out. Making a field pay for a combine when the profit per acre is around $40 is a bit tough. Any other tips/thoughts. (nothing against other brands either, I just have no experience with them)
