Go with a good used deere.

Thanks Bucket

I should have specified we are looking at a used machine no matter what brand we go with. We just don't have the acres to justify new

I know they are usually more Money but I think
you should look at a case 3310. It is probably in
your price range and is new enough to get Aim
Command. Aim is worth its weight in gold.
Warning if you sit in a 3320 you will have to buy it
so unless you want to spend the money just stay
away.

I have a 205 7650 and love everything except the ride. The newer ones seemed to have corrected this with wider stance apparently.However it is Easy on fuel,simple to operate and have tough booms.

Should read 2005

We used a spra coupe for five years. We covered 21 to 24,000 acres a year with the machine.

It was bullet proof. We spent about $200 a year on parts other than tires.

Downside was alittle small on tank size and plan on slowing down in the hills. Very cheap on
fuel.

I would recommend for anyone farming 4,000 acres or less.

Thanks bluefargo for asking here. Just looked at a 7650 today and owner covered 4000 - acres and loved it. Said same things,cheap to run, easy to work with. Said this is his second one and was buying a new one.

Hear The AIM ain't all that, Specially if Yous Spraying Glyphosate. Supposedly that little Pulsating Action is enough to leave little Misses across The Whole Field, Don't Shoot The Messenger, Just What I Hearin............

BTO I use the aim command on the IH and have been spraying glypho at 3 and 1/8 gallons per acrea and been working OK. Gives me 2 quarters per tank load.
Given the option of a hired man I would go with double water volume but the low water with aim has worked for me.
