[will_mck]

Looking for a tidy TX 66 between 2000 and 3000 hrs, preferably one of the later one's

Aph have one

You could try Will Slatter at Cotswold Combines on 07831 244269.
He specialises in older NH combines. If he hasn’t got one, he will know where there are some.

Rodney Cowle Machinery is advertising a 2005 TX66 1900/2300hrs.
But I’ve often found he advertises stuff and he hasn’t actually got it!

Lloyd’s at Dumfries have one

Its not what you asked but Malpas have a reasonable looking Tx68 which is sub £50k

 

[Steevo]

Budget?

 

[will_mck]

30-40k

bit off topic: how would tx66 compare to claas 108? I really struggle to get output on hilly grounds and SL sieves on tx66 looks like a way to go. Read that 3d sieves of Claas are no comparison to SL on New Holland

Interesting.
My CX6080 has something called Smart-sieve, which is similar to the Claas 3D sieves. NH claims that it works on even steeper ground than the SL system.
However, I don’t agree and have found it not as good as SL systems I have had before.

What is much better is the automatic fan speed adjustment called Opit-fan, that alters the fan speed as it goes up and down hills.
As a result, where possible, I now drill my fields up and down the hills and Combine them the same way as the tramlines. Which I find is far better than across the hills, which I did with the SL system.

IIRC, you could preset 2 fan speeds on the TX, which would help. But it would have been more helpful to have 3 preset speeds. 1 for up hill, 1 for flat and on for downhill.

Malpas tractors have a 2002 TX68. Not priced.

Thanks Stephen, I'm after a combine with a 20ft header really and that 68 has 24ft, in our climate we've trouble getting straw dry for baling. It looks a tidy combine though!

 

[Steevo]

Cx820 available here if you can stretch your budget a bit.

 

[will_mck]

Hi Steevo, I'd love a cx820 but I couldn't justify spending that much
