I bought my first combine last year. A 99 claas 108vx. Did 500acres last year and booked in for 600 this.
The same machine could have been bought for the same money I paid 10 years ago. I must be a fool.

Taking myself and my neighbors as examples,
2 run yellow
2 run dark green
6 run light green
1 grand island red
5 of the light green are the lex version.

we bought tx65 in 2004 for £39,000 and sold it in 2011 for £45,000 and cost very litte to run and that was a true price as we sold it to a farmer

New big combines around me tend to be New Holland CR with the odd Class and possibly more JD STS
Older machines then NH TX and CX , can't think of any dominators but a couple of walker lexions , a few CTS machines about and a few walker JD machines , would have to scratch my head to find a Axial flow locally but I know of a couple of bigger ones 20 to 30 miles away
Thinking about it and considering we have what is thought to be a very good Class dealership not a million miles away then I would say they need to sell some more machines into my area

I have pretty much the same thoughts and practice ! Excluding repairs, 3k lost in depreciation on the last 2 machines in 10yrs, and hoping for similar in the recent new(er) yr2000 one
If he’s manufacturing OEM surely he knows what the fast moving parts are already?
You get the prize. It's a shameless plug for Farm Market Thingy...

From talking to customers over the years it seems that many parts for US built combines can be bought from the states and shipped here for a lot less money than buying from the UK.
Also, for things like wear plates underneath headers, or maybe you’ve bent a panel somehow, take your old ones to a local fabrication shop and they knock out copies for next to nothing.
Obviously not so good if you’ve broken down mid August and black clouds are gathering, but if you’re the kind of people that go right through a combine during winter it works very well.
