A 6 Walker on 800's is very wide on the road.
Think carefully about where you need to travel before you buy one...
Single rotor puts me off them. Or they would be a ideal 570 replacement.Have you considered a Tucano? Simplified Lexion with lass electronics but perfectly capable of the area.
Not as good as twin rotor on straw eitherSingle rotor puts me off them. Or they would be a ideal 570 replacement.
Don’t think anyone has said they are bad because it’s a fact they are a great combine but I was just pointing out that at the age and budget of the op a Walker combine would be less warn out because the basic same parts ie elevators drum sieves won’t be as worn as they will have handled less crop and not been forced through so fastGet that 570 on sale bought and be done with it. Client of mine used to have one, went like fury and he regretted ever selling his.

Disagree, having run a single rotor for four years now, mine covered 390ha last year with ease, straw quality is done to the driver, the same as all rotaries. The only downside is the straw chopper as mine doesnt have the power spreader or whatever its called now, bog standard straw chopper which just and only just spreads to 7.5m but more comes out of one side than the other being a single rotor machine. Very under rated combine.Not as good as twin rotor on straw either
Just would feel like a step backwards going back to single rotor.Disagree, having run a single rotor for four years now, mine covered 390ha last year with ease, straw quality is done to the driver, the same as all rotaries.

Mann’s are just down the road for parts, local dealer very competitive on labour and I look after the fitters boilersWhy restrict yourself to light green?
I got a no for that oneYou need to buy the machine yourself and maybe contract for your 'mate' at a favourable rate. Would make life much simpler.
