    Nothing computes in cost per acre/hour. Do your math before you stick your neck out. Ridiculous.

    They can all go TITS up, best thing ever. Phuck the manufactures and their games, BIGGER BIGGER BIGGER, no society left.

      These combines are to replace 1.5 to 2 of your old combines. Doesn't work otherwise.

      Neighbor is at 7,000 acres per machine. Finished about the same time as the rest of the neighborhood.

      These aren't for smaller farmers. We farm 9,000 and can't see a fit for our operation.

          How many case combines are required for the swamp for 7000 acres? Knowing that I can tell you how many X9’s or 8800’s are required…..

            Two is better than one even to have a third one kicking around. Having one combine and it breaks down everything stops

              Yup. But I think if you do 3500 now you can likely do more than 5,000 with an x9.

                Sometimes 3500 total with a class 8 and a class 9 is pushing it up here, and in the areas these guys are talking about.

                  Well someone on here has will have 3 for 10-12000 ac if that helps you , kinda wet country also
                  If you’ve never experienced the wet and mud , you could never fathom it
                  6 hour days , missing many days for showers
                  Shit lotsa guys in the south don’t even have dryers , we experienced 2 southern falls last two years , coulda took whole crop off with an 8800

                      It can get like this here and it doesn’t matter how many combines you have a very few acres come off. Typically here 2000 ac is lots for a class 8 but on wet falls that could be to much.
                      Really is there ever a time when a bigger or more combine’s aren’t needed?
