Like others have said an A is getting old. Dad had an E, E III and an F before changing to Deere machines. Gleaner machines are easier to work on than many others. You asked about wide rows and yeild loss. There might be some but not a huge amount with our modern seed corn. I am still wide row and average over 200 bu per acre. My reason for not changing to narrow is I have plenty of wide row equipment and we often harvest our corn stalks for bedding in the spring of year and with my combine (Deere 95) it does not run any stalks down. One thought is if you go wide row there may not be anyone to hire to help if you have a major breakdown. If I were buying a Gleaner it would be a F or F II machine. With those you could run a three row narrow head or 4 row wide. E III and K's are good but getting smaller for todays higher yeilds. You should be able to find a good Gleaner with heads in the $2-4000 price range. Tom
