You probably know more than most so go with your gut feeling.My Lexion 560 is pretty much on its limit capacity wise especially in a year like this!
So while it’s raining (again) I was browsing the internet looking at bigger combines and found a Lexion 600+ TT that’s not a million miles away and isn’t silly money but it’s got around 2000 drum hours on it (about the same as mine) but I know the history of mine.
Questions are -
Would it be worth the risk at those hours? What could potentially need replacing
Would the metal work be getting a bit thin?
Mines had a new concave last year and all new chains right through this year so know it’s right inside. But would only be looking at swapping at the end of the season anyway so would have time to go right through it.
I’m actually thinking mine could be worth more or about the same so may not actually cost much to swap to a much bigger machine for next season.
What are people’s thoughts, opinions of those that have run/maintained a 600?
Not looking to change brand or buy new as job won’t stand it at the moment just need more capacity to clear the acres so please stay on topic. Thanks
