IADAVE - 9/10/2024 23:21 We are on the road to being like Cuba. No one can buy new as the cost is to high. in 2 years we will all be trying to make these 20 year old combines run.
Already there. 8820s and 7720 have had less downtime combined (0 hours) than any one of our other newer combines. 20 series service program is blow and go - and they don't even need blown as often as the newer ones. 20 series brochure claimed they were the most reliable combine ever made. I have never seen that claim for any newer combine...


I used to think like that.  Still have a 8820 in the shed.  Damn good combine.  But back in the day we were only cutting 1,500 acres a year with 8820.  If I ran it over 12,000 acres we have today or 6,000 if you want to be fair since we run 2 combines, then it won't be as reliable as some you think.  When I measure reliability I take in account the amount of acres and bushels our newer combines process.
