A local machinery dealer told me that someone will eventuallly someone will import a smaller (4/6) row combine and they'll sell like hotcakes. It won't come from AGCO, JD or CNH either, they are too short-sighted, and don't want to cater to a "niche" market. It may take a decade though, as there are still plenty of decent used smaller machines around.
A friend that farms about 400 acres in Kentucky told me that the local JD dealer told him that eventually everyone his size will be gone. The big guys will run them out of business. He said that this may be true, but you're still going to need a JD 4420/IH 1420 sized combine or smaller to get across bridges and get to the best ground in his neighborhood. There are alot of narrow bridges with a 10 ton weight limit or less around. He says he grits his teeth every time he crosses a certain one with his 4400. 6 ton weight limit and very narrow, you have to crawl across it. It's a dead end road, and the only way in/out to 1000+/- acres. No one could get one of these behemoth newer (or older) combines to the field if they wanted to.
