Ran one for years 88sl bomb proofOne coming up in a farm sale. Tell me good and bad point's
Had a couple over time, good combines, obviously getting on now so condition dependant. Simple to operate and work on. Check the seals on the sides of the sieves that run against the inside of the body as they are prone to breaking up, and the straw walker block bearings on the crank, if too much wear the walkers bang and start to crack apart so look closely at those. Wobble box on knife drive too, look at auger in header and how it turns and that all retractable fingers are present and nothing rattling around inside, there should be a spare knife in the back of the header, you need to run it up and just see how smooth she is to get a proper feel of it. Look in the drum and concave, make sure everything adjusts as it should, check feeder house bars and all the elevators, oh should have air con too so try that.

Not really. We will see upon further investigation£7-£10k?
TBH your location might work for/agin you.....it'll cost a lot to haul it out...on the other hand if someone local also wants a combine haulage costs might contribute?...do you get irish buyers?
