What combine would you recommend

[farmbrew]

I used a neighbour contractor for a few years but much prefer being independent, especially in the 'catchy' years.
John Deere have been good combines to my mind and reasonably priced.
Now running a JD 2054, has been pretty reliable and relatively easy to fix...not too complicated in the electronics department.
Push the budget to buy a good used machine that will last a good few years.
Local dealership service in your area would also be a consideration.

We've got a Dominator 85. Cost us £4k in 2010 and it cuts 100 acres or so a year. We used to use a contractor, but getting our own was one of the best things we've done. Much cheaper and we can go when we want.

I go through it over the winter and replace and bits which need it. Usually costs £250 or so in parts.

Axial flow. Just choose dry days. You can soon save some money if you don't have to dry any grain.
