NH or JD combine

JD combines bodywork never seem to age very well.
I love JD tractors but couldn’t bring myself to have a jd combine for the above reason. I tried to convince myself last change but in that age range (2000-2005) the NH’s were ageing much better. We had one on hire one year after our TF78 burnt and it went very well (a 2266) but as someone else said; almost everything is better on a TX imo of the same era.

I was surprised at the paintwork on a 12 vintage T series I saw at harvest, that's all, doubt there is any primer by the way the paint was peeling off the grain elevator boxes. I'm well aware that 1000 series are now old, but the 'walker hoods on them were diabolical even not very old. All least older Claas have galvanised panel tinwork under the paint.
 
Too many people spend big bucks on a combine and leave it sitting outside all year it pains me everytime I see one left in the corner of a field.

Ours has never spent a single night outside during our ownership and the body work is clean and tidy.

Some folks treat stuff like trash and it's no wonder it looks tatty in no time.

Others look after their kit and even polish up their slurry tanker when they get a spare 5 hours.
