I have an old Allis 60 that I've had for 25 years. Total repairs are in the $1500 range for the whole time. For other reasons I've had a neighbor do my combining for the last couple of years. I raise a soy bean/wheat rotation, the same as my neighbor. We've been neighbors for 40 years and I'm a pretty fair mechanic, so I help fix his machinery whenever needed. My crops are not organic, so no special clean-up needed. I also have enough wagons to hold the entire crop, no waiting for them. All he has to do is drive across the road or fencerow, no removal of a header, and he does mine at the same time as his own. I mention all this to give you some background information about the amount of time and work involved with my few acres. He charges $25/acre, but I pay him $30 because I'm so happy to get it done. We're both happy with the arrangement.
