Just curious what make mosel combine some of you guys run and how many acres you have. I have 200 this year, and just got the go ahead to rent another 120 next year. As I am shopping for a combine (1440-1460 IH) I am asking sellers why they are selling and an awful lot are stating they are going to a bigger combine(mostly 1660"s), and when I inquire how many acres they are cropping, alot of them are farming far less than I am, and will be. I am working on another 100 acres which could put me at 400-450. Am I thinking to small? I have an 8RN planter and was thinking a 4 row head would be fine, but I wonder if I should be thinking more the lines of a 1660,1640,1480, with a 8rn. Crops I will be growing will be corn, soybeans, small grains(oats, Winter rye, possibly wheat). Am I undercutting my operation by looking at 1440"s? Please share your situation"s and advice. I do not want to borrow a combine this year, and I also dont want to spend $30,000.
