New Holland CR9060

[Romeogolf]

For numerous reasons I am back to binder shopping.
Having sold my TX66 and gone with contractor for a year, I’m nursing my way back into the bosom of combine ownership. No regrets in selling the 66, cheap combining for the 5 years I had it and sold for more than purchased.

I have been to look at a 2007 cr9060 today, and was suitably impressed. I am aware of the differences of walker to rotary, but straw quality not an enormous issue and would favour output over straw condition. I have read various opinions on this forum, but keen to get any fresh opinions on these machines. 24ft table, got 500/600 acres to cut this year.
Thanks

600 acres will be a breeze for it, but IME the small rotor CRs smash up the straw probably more than anything else. No problem if you chop everything

2007 9060 here, cut around 900 acres annually. Rate it very highly, good output from a fairly compact machine. Bit harder on the straw than our tx’s were but not terrible.

These narrow body cr’s seem to divide opinion on straw quality it seems, I expect a lot is down to how it’s driven, my old 66 would smash straw if you didn’t pay attention to it.

Don’t find ours too silly on the straw most of the time. Wider concave and push enough through is usually more than acceptable, as you say the tx can also smash it up at times. Bale all the cereal straw behind ours.
