Unless a large difference in output, service backup,and the amount of the monthly payments may make a farmers mind up , as to which combine he would purchaseThe ‘100 tons per hour’ figure being proclaimed is likely spot rate and not average so you can knock 10% off at least for headlands and turning etc. Also this year there is a large amount of straw of which I’m finding is still not 100 ripe and really the limiting factor on output, struggling to get spot rates over 65tph with our 770.
On a bright sunny day, which we have not had many this harvest, in the right sized field with a 4t + short strawed crop then I’d say these figures are easily achievable and i bet the claas and nh wouldn’t be far behind
