@Dave W
Condition is everything.
I'm guessing 'as seen'

 

[Drillman]

As @Nearly says condition is everything,

were 2 seasons into ownership of a 20 year old combine and only now is it getting to the stage we’re I’m happy with it’s mechanicals

 

[BRB John]

I think the price is about right but yeah expect at least 2 seasons before you get it to where you want it to be.
And be prepared to get real familiar with her insides....

Crikey that’s an early one. V reg is 79/80 isn’t it? Not 1985… we had a dominator 85 years ago that was no bother but I’d be concerned how little that combine came in at if he’s making profit at 7k. Depends what acreage you’re hoping to do with it; 12’ cut on a tired combine wouldn’t want much more than 50ac would it(?)

coupla yrs ago those dommys could be got for £3.5k...... that one seems a bit over priced but everything is these days

 

[Farmer_Joe]

Agree with above, less than that but I’m not buying I suppose!

He's a tidy chap, go and see him?

buget agri equipment of lincs has this £2300...header not pictured

thought this good value at time....whether it's sold or cut up i don't know

 

[Sebastian77]

Way overpriced, or the 86 we bought earlier this summer was an absolute bargain.

 

[Pennine Ploughing]

That is a very early one , and it's a bit over priced in my opinion, unless you have grain to cut next week, I would be looking for something a little bit better for that money.
You will need to be good with the spanners, and happy to get down n dirty with its guts on something like that, however after a couple years sorting something like that out, it would do a small acreage each year ok,
If it were me I would be looking for a 86, or even a 96, and a 15 foot header

 

[Campbell]

That's a Herefordshire Reg, any chance of contacting the previous owner?

 

[danpwll]

bit steep id say 5 to 5500 as struggled to sell an 1984 86 for 5500 , which was tidy 13fy head and merc engine

We bought a similar age, 1986 I think without double checking, 86 with 15ft header for 5000 towards the end of summer. So that definitely seems to be the ballpark. I'd be surprised if the dealer gave more than 3k.

I’ve an X reg one I’d let go for half that.

Lot for haulage though

It's closer than you think.

The Mann’s stickers would imply it came from suffolk.
