I am considering upgrading combines a bit, going from my current late model JD 4400 to an early model Case IH 1460. The 1460 does not have the electric over hydraulic header control that everyone seems to recommend. How big of a deal is this? it seems like the price on these models is nearly 50% less than the electric over hydraulic control models. I am looking to cover about 250-300 acres per year. The 1460 has a 17.5 foot 1020 head with it.
my current 4400 is a machine that I really love. It is a great machine that I really like, but capacity is really low, especially in corn. In beans it seams fine. Also, I currently adjust my header height manually with the 4400. My 4400 has the auto header height control, but it just seems so sensitive and it is constantly adjusting, this drives me nuts! I really have no problem adjusting the header height manually and have been doing it for 2 years without a problem. I hear great things about the rotary combines and am trying to work myself that direction.
Will I be disappointed with an early model 1460 without the sought after electric over hydraulic controls? Does a 1460 have a rock trap?

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
