Witmer's Equipment in Columbiana, Ohio sold a Gleaner K in decent shape (few small things wrong) this past summer for $9000. I thought that was crazy. Apparently there is a market for very good clean used smaller combines right now.
I've been saying for years that if someone would build a small easy to haul combine with modern features like air conditioning and hydraulic unloading auger and a _quiet_ cab that they would sell on a specialist market.
