New Holland combine

[Farmer mk1]

Evening everyone,
I’m looking at getting a new Holland combine for our 200 acre wheat and rape harvest and have about 300 acre of wheat to get for a neighbour who wants us to do it if we buy one. I’ve been looking at tx66 or so combines but to get a low hour one they seem to be about 35k or so and for 50 to 55k I could get a cx on a 2006 ish type of age. What would you guys do if it was your money? We are fairly convinced on getting a big ish one as our weather windows are short and work load is big any way so would like to get through it as fast as we can and get it at the driest it can be to save the cost of drying etc. Would a cx be easier to maintain than a tx as some say they have less going on under the panels?
Combines are new to us so any experience and advice is welcome!
Thanks

Might be genuine

Go for a cx if you can. The cab is a nicer place to spend the day if nothing else.

What are the roads like around you? The 66 is a big old lump. @Two Tone is our resident New Holland expert.
All I will add is I went looking for a 2000s TX66 about 5 years ago and came home with an older lower houred TX 65 as I couldn't find a 66 that hadn't done a hell of a lot of work and have no regrets.

Our land is all on main roads so access is ok to get into the land. It’s all in 2 blocks of 90 acre etc so should be able to get it around if we move it later in the day after rush hours. I’d like a 6 walker if I could

I’d recommend a Cx

 

[Farmer mk1]

Which cx would be a good model to buy? Is the cx860 and smaller in size to a cx880? Also what is difference in the cx700 model to cx800 model?

 

[super4]

Cx7 5 walker
cx8 6walkers.

 

[Farmer mk1]

Will a big cx7 go as well as a smaller cx8 or is it better to go for a cx8 and not have to push it as much?

If the budget is for a late tx or an early cx; like anything the last in a range should be a better buy. We ended up with a 66 and thrilled to bits with it. As @Renaultman says tho; it’s wide.

 

[Farmer mk1]

How wide is a tx66? It will be the same width as a cx880?

Depends on tyres. I’ll measure

My cx8060 is the nearly the same width as my old tx66. CX is wide front and back where as the tx was just wide at the front. Both on 800 tires and just under 4m wide.

Don't touch a TF78 as posted above, especially in your situation.
A 6 walker CX would be my recommendation, probably same price as a 5 walker one.

no you can,t beat separation area on straw walker combine

 

[SilliamWhale]

I got a tx68 plus. 12ft 2 - easiest combine I've ever got around.

Cx8090 here been a good machine

 

[Two Tone]

That TF 78 shown in the picture is an earlier Elektra rather than the Elekra Plus model and suffered a few problems the Plus didn’t. But they both used a Fibre optic system that it is difficult to get parts for now.

The high capacity they had was matched by the use of a Vari-width header, ensuring every wheat/barley ear hit the drum first, rather than the stuff cut immediately ahead of the retraction tines in the middle of the header auger hitting it in all directions.
