Not long since some said the combi drill was dead.

I'd rather have a 106 hydro for my 90 acres. I wouldn't enjoy going into a 30 acre field with a combine header narrower than my combi drill.
Contractor can cut 30 acres in a good afternoon, but walks away with £1000 in his pocket. I need to keep more of that in my pocket.

You try find a good little combine for cutting your own 40-80 acre of corn,
So there is still a market for them,

There will be a few in the mixed livestock areas, that plough out grass in crop rotation

Yes , plenty of livestock farmers growing a bit , straw being a big reason

Hell yes,i can think of 10 within a few miles of here,JD 1055/65/75,NH smallTX/TC and Claas 76/86

I'd reckon the OP's Claas 86 would be in the region of £6k give or take, depending on condition.
Plenty life left in her if you're handy with the spanners.
We've a 96 15ft cutting about 115ac/yr and it went through a troublesome period at 3000hrs but shes past most niggles now again.
Don't get much contract combining for that sort of money.
