sweet we run 3 s690's we got 4 8360? o think thats what they are two jd 3005's a ford 1300 and a international 1466 and an old oliver and a lexion combine idk what model or nuthin it is i havent looked at it yet
@MrScrappy1985 We were John Deere dealers for 28 years. We closed our dealership in '08. So now we do a little selling, trying to sell our used equipment before the trades come in.
Random question buy why don't you get the s690 instead of the 680 since your getting several of them? kinda like getting the 9770s instead of 9870's and reason in particular?
@lovetore Well the obvious reason is price. We usually run 3 9770s, but next year we are going to 2 S680s. The reason is the 680 and 690 both have the same benefits. They both have the bigger cleaning shoe, and same unload and other options, so there's not much reason to go the bigger machine is Hp and we don't run chopping corn heads, 4wh, etc. the reason for reducing combines is the new ones are more productive w 16 row heads, and we can reduce labor.
@southwestfamilyfarms yeah that makes sense was just wondering I farm in Iowa and we farm 99.9% corn on my farm, the feilds you guys farm is a hell of a lot different contour down there than up in here lol was just wondering but thanks for the reply!
How bad did the drought affect the yields? We were very lucky here in Northwest Indiana, had our best year ever. But you go south of the Kankakee River and there were places with 5 bu/acre beans and 20 bu/acre corn in spots.
@03800rev Planned on buying it, but it came in and had 4wd, and the folding bin ext...Things we don't need. Have one coming for wheat harvest and another for corn. These machines are IMPRESSIVE in corn esp. with 16 corn head. We are cutting back from 3 9770s to 2 S680s
I really like that tractor

@GreyManDet You are exactly right. These machines keep getting bigger and more expensive, but also becoming more efficient. Thanks for watching!
