What acres do harvest with those combines?
Very little now, 33acres/yr the last three. Up until about 15 years ago the yellow roof cut 180-220 religiously from the mid 70s. Then the green roof came along 04 first couple of years dad and I were cutting around 300acres plus, between ourselves and local. Then gradually less due to getting less ground, people not growing as much and neighbours buying their own newer bigger better combines. Genuinely they have been brilliant to own, but are starting just to show signs of wear the last 5 years. I was thinking if I stripped one down completely and rebuilt from the ground up spend let's say 8-10k did some mods that I've wanted to do. You would end up with a cracking machine.
