Looking like a tx63 66 or claas mega 208 or so. If anyone sees one over winter which is nice could you let me know.
Hi we have a claas dominator 204 for sale, we cut about 450acres a year with it not problem. It would cut yours easily selling it as wer wanting to upgrade a few years if not we shall keep it as there is nothing wrong with it. Wanting 22k for it. Many thanks RobHello,
After some advice on combines as it’s all new to us. We grow about 250 acre between wheat barley and beans or rape and want a combine to do this job.
Would like to spend little as possible around 25k ish to 30k on something to do the job. Lesser electrics the better and would like to be able to repair it our selves etc.
Would like a claas dominator or something like a NH tx model.
What is a good combine to fit our needs and any opinions on what would be good.
Thanks
Mark
204 is a cracking machine.Hi we have a claas dominator 204 for sale, we cut about 450acres a year with it not problem. It would cut yours easily selling it as wer wanting to upgrade a few years if not we shall keep it as there is nothing wrong with it. Wanting 22k for it. Many thanks Rob
I would ring colin martinson at howden , if you want new holland ,he may have one for sale and their knowlwdge of them is second to none ,I could do with an old combine man to come with me when we go to look. Using a contractor this year. What is the difference between a tx 66 and tf78.

Hi dyou still have this combine for sale ?
As far as Massey are concerned it depends on what machine you are talking about - 34/36/38/40 are not bad at all. Our 38 has done us 4 years (doing 400 acres) with little in the way of problems. Getting old now but cheap combining208 is a heck of a tool for your acreage, 204 would be more than boss. If you can find a tidy example of either …. And local support…. You won’t go far wrong. I ran a 208 mega 2 , .
New Holland …. Strong combines , again, local support.
I’ve never operated an Axial flow but they can be run to very high hours I know, local support s key.
What I did learn is that you should never…ever….under any circumstances… buy MF….life is too short.
Good luck !
I’m sure your right ….. are you still looking for a ClaasAs far as Massey are concerned it depends on what machine you are talking about - 34/36/38/40 are not bad at all. Our 38 has done us 4 years (doing 400 acres) with little in the way of problems. Getting old now but cheap combining
Axail flow 2188/2388
The end.
3 seasons in and the 2388 has performed flawlessly. Spent some money on pre season maintenance but it was 20 year old this year and was at the stage where work needed done to give it a good life going forwards, it’s like new mechanically now.Not the end.
OP would also need to budget £4.5k+ for a bedding up machine when he finds out the round bales won't roll out.
indeed we are - but not because the MF is no good, just that we are on the treadmill now and with more to cut we have to go bigger and newer - suspect the best days are behind us . It will pain me to let the 38 go!I’m sure your right ….. are you still looking for a Claas
Just a question is the rotating radiator air cleaner on the back of on the side?3 seasons in and the 2388 has performed flawlessly.

As for the bale unroller, we’ve found it has a multitude of uses as well as straw it does silage and fodder beet down feed passages and been used for rolling silage out in parched grasses this summer so cows had something to eat. Only regret is we didn’t buy one 20 years ago.
We have noticed a significant straw saving by using it as well For bedding cattle and it’s faster and a lot easier than using the Armstrong loader.
The 36/38 etc have a good reputation. I'd say they're good value second hand.indeed we are - but not because the MF is no good, just that we are on the treadmill now and with more to cut we have to go bigger and newer - suspect the best days are behind us . It will pain me to let the 38 go!
