The Uk's top 10 most popular combines ?

[Spud]

NH CX760 here, replaced a TX36, plenty of both series in these parts

 

[bobk]

Dominators easily , the last affordable good combine claas made , now it's got silly .

 

[bovrill]

If you're doing a list, make sure my MF500 is on it. I do a little bit every year with it!
The Claas Dominator 76 does most of the work now, and I really ought to get rid of my Case 1680.

You don't keep them long then? Combine policy here is to buy them at 10yo, under 2000hrs, and keep them another 10yrs.
1992 TX36 was bought for £25k in 2002 and sold for £15k in 2014. Cut 600ac a year. £1.38/ac depn. That'll do!

The first 460 was traded in after 2 seasons for a bigger model, as was the 580+ to a 600, changed jobs onto 2 570s which were both brilliant machines then onto a 770 that was changed along with a 580 for another 770 gone from 2 machines to 1. Hope it stops raining soon!!!

Bit of a headline , saying depreciation was a quid or so an acre , may have cost 20k in repairs

 

[Daniel]

Looking to create a list of the top 10 combines in use in the UK today - make and model ?

Not just the latest greatest new sales but overall what are the 10 most common machines to be found working in the UK right now ?


I'm thinking tx34 Case 2288 etc ???

Reason being we have a source of very good value spares through Farm Marketplace and are wondering what models to list for as a priority

Tucano 430.

It didn't, I was merely illustrating two different methods of combine ownership, albeit from solely a depn perspective. The predecessor to the TX was an 8070, bought for £25k in 1997 and sold for £18k iirc in 2002 after workload increased in 2000. Cost a sniff over £3/ac in depn.

A NH TX66 for us, replaced a TX34 that went to Wales.

Cant quite match @Spud for the dep value, ours was £1.87/ac over the 10 years it was with us.

That's decent! I doubt a new one would come close to that figure

We looked at a CR960 at it's previous owners farm, it was superb, and I was very tempted, but at the time it had more capacity than our infrastructure, and it was beyond budget, so settled for the CX we have now. Lovely simple looking machine was the 960

 

[Drillman]

I would have thought that if making a profit from flogging combine bits was a priority, the MF delta series must be high up the list
