will the unloading auger of a 6620 clear the side of a tractor trailer

@rdnkfyrfytr The truck in the video is as high as a tractor trailer

We may do 400 acres next year, I agree it keeps up pretty good with the new machines. With a grain cart we can fill a semi with 40 tons in 4 hours. The Mack isn't ours but I would love to have one with a regular cab and a little bigger box, it has plenty of power and is built stronger than anything else.

We're doing about 200 acres this year plus some for the neighbors I think. For 20 acres I'd just hire someone unless you got money to burn.

No idea what center shield extensions are...

@jhoag293994 I make perfect sense. Your combine might have some of those features but Gleaner had all those features before Deere ever did. That's my point. I'll give Deere this, they know how to run a company. There used to be Gleaner dealers everywhere but after Duetz it all fell apart. That's the number 1 reason Gleaners have disappeared. If you have to drive 50 miles or more for parts you trade. Values fall and it's a snow ball effect.

They were the most smooth running, longest lasting machines ever built. I bet there are more 6620"s still running today than all Gleaners combined. And FYI mine has a grain loss monitor, variable speed cornhead, and it is a 4 to 6 row machine, not a 12 row machine. You make no sense.

@jhoag293994 In what way were they before their time? Stone ejection door protection? Electrol Hydraulics push button controls? Grain Loss Monitor, Full Bin Monitor, Automatic reel speed, Variable speed corn head, Big Grain Bins, Rotary technology, Sidehill operation without spending big bucks, simplicity, true two stage cleaning fan system, centerline design, visual tailings from your seat while combining, 12 row corn head, speed in the field without grain loss? Nope none of that. Who had those

What's the difference from a normal and a hillside 6620?

@Archivesman1 Thanks for the information. Sounds like the 4400 Turbo is capable of handling quite a bit of land. I suppose it uses a 4 row corn header. The 6600 in the video has a 6 row header and is a good looking machine. We always kept out equipment in good shape (when I was growing up) and did not have too many breakdowns. I would like to farm my little farm (120 acres) at least 2 or 3 years before I die. I've been at a university for most of my adult life.

@Archivesman1 I would go with a John Deere 4400 turbo its a gas motor in some but we farmed 300 acres with it

[Archivesman1]

Let's say you have 120 acres that routinely produces about 190 bushels of corn per acre. It is rented out now but if I were to farm it, what type of combine should I buy? Or should I just have it custom harvested?
