    Posted: 14 Jun at 8:03pm

I found an all crop 66 for sale, its been sitting outside for a few years, they used it for several years before putting it aside an getting something different. So, I'm hoping its mechanically O.K., but is there anything I should be looking for if I get a chance to go look at it next weekend?  Didn't I read somewheres that some of them the wheels were on bushings rather than bearings?

Click here to get more.

The  reason I ask is it's located 5 MILES from my fathers house. Thats only 26,400 feet! I think logic demands that I buy it just on proximity alone! I have no use for one, I've never had a stranger come up to me and ask me to combine his oats (yet), but boy, I hate to see it go to scrap. If I could fix it up, not necissarily restore it, it sure would be neat to have. Any guesses as to what its worth? How much does one weigh? Thanks. The mechanic always wins.

Check for rust in the cylinder and the doors on the elevators, and anyplace else on the combine, that's the biggest thing to check for. Also check the elevators for dirt dobers and make sure they're clean. Check the cylinder bars for damage and how much rubber is left on them. When you can, pics help and let us know how it looks when you go to see it, good luck! If you want a man to be a successful farmer, give him a Allis Chalmers tractor.

Your fine. you'll spend more on the canvass than the combine is worth if its bad. but if you have the means id say save it! look for optional features such as dual wheels, scour kleen, big bin, pick up header, all those add value. they take a LOT of grease, make sure you lube everything before running.

This is why I have a Minneapolis Moline model 69 pull type combine with auxiliary engine in a barn. It is never been rained on and I just couldn't let it go for scrap. I'll never use it the magneto is gone off the engine and the canvases are shot. But if anybody knows of anybody it would help could work something out. littlemarv

I asked him and he used to run one quite a bit when he was younger. Hell, it might even BE the one he ran...... we'd better go look. I looked through the 186 page parts book over on allcropharvester.com last night, there is a lot of parts to one of these and looks like a blast to setup and operate. The mechanic always wins.

Super Wild Ass Guess Scour Kleen - cylindrical grain cleaner mounted on top of the grain tank. Canvas - Yep not cheap...Find a company that does awnings or a Amish who does that kind of work and you might get it done cheaper.  Will be inferior though as it wont be rubbereized.

Need to purchase a combine harvester? You’ve come to the right place.

While there are benefits to buying new over used, we know buying brand new isn’t possible for everyone. So you need to find the right machine at the right price, from the right seller. What do you check for? Who should you deal with? What are things to look out for? We’re here to help!

When browsing combine harvesters for sale, make sure you’re getting the right machine for your needs with these quick tips.

1. Choose the right brand
2. Get the right harvester for your size operation
3. Decide on dealership or private sale
4. Ask the right questions
5. Check the exterior
6. Check the interior
7. Inspect the engine
8. Check the tyres
9. Check the harvester is not still under finance
10. Know your finance options

Check out used combine harvesters for sale

1. Choose the Right Brand

Depending on your budget, needs and preferences, there are 4 big combine brands to choose from:

1. John Deere—as the industry leader in ag machinery and equipment, John Deere is the big player for combine harvesters. Check out our buyers guide to the John Deere S680 to see what we mean.
2. Case IH—With a huge focus on autonomous farming, Case IH is consistently coming up with new innovations and technology to make combine operator jobs much easier.
3. New Holland—A big belief in sustainable farming, New Holland have built strong combines made for cleaner,  more efficient farming.
4. Massey Ferguson—Always innovating, Massey Ferguson are known for their precision farming equipment, with their combines ranging from 175-459hp.

Of course, there are plenty of other brands that manufacture combine harvesters and don’t come with the larger price tag.

If you’re still unsure, check out a couple of different brand combines (if possible) in person so you can get a feel for which is best for you. The decision you make could prove crucial come harvest time.

2. Get the Right Combine Harvester for Your Operation

Bigger isn’t always better

While it may seem great to opt for a larger combine with higher levels of production, it actually could work against you if it’s not the correct fit. It’s always better to have a smaller machine producing an easily handled load rather than a larger combine sitting full and idle while it waits for pickup.

Crop Type

You also want to choose the right combine for your crop type. For best harvest performance, crop species such as sunflower, corn, soybean and rice require their own purpose-built heads.

3. Decide On Dealership or Private Sale

Now you have an idea of the right combine, the next question is: dealership or private seller?

There’s a certain essence of protection when you buy through a dealership. Generally, dealerships are licensed resellers of brand products and therefore have greater knowledge of combine and model types that may better suit your needs.

For more information, please visit Xinwanda.

Dealerships may also be able to offer warranties and other things that private sellers just don’t have access to. You’ll want to be sure the dealership isn’t too far from you in case you run into problems.

4. Ask the Right Questions

If you do check out some used combines for sale by a private seller, you want to be prepared with some questions to make sure they have kept the machine in good nick:

1. What’s its service history? Can they provide you with a maintenance log?
2. How many hours has this machine clocked? (Sellers should have this on their Machines4U ad, but sometimes they don’t)
3. What can the header handle? (The combine’s capacity should never be more than the gathering head can take)
4. Is it comfortable to operate?
5. What is the unloading rate?

5. Check the Exterior

Your livelihood depends on getting a decent machine that does what its meant to do. That’s why we recommend checking the machine in person. Generally, farmers will keep their machinery in good condition to prolong the kit’s lifespan, however it’s always important to do your due diligence.

While viewing pictures certainly helps, nothing beats seeing the machine up close. You need to be able to:

• Listen to the engine
• Do a walk-around to check the for any damage or rust
• Sit in the cab to get a good idea of its condition
• Check the belts, chains and sprockets for any damage

Bring someone with you if possible, an extra set of eyes and ears is better than one!

6. Check the Interior

Harvesting calls for long hours, so you want to be sure the cab is comfortable and has the extras you’re looking for. Sit in the cab, tinker with the controls and make sure everything is working as it should. Make sure to ask about storage, entertainment options, and anything else that’s important to you.

7. Check the Engine

As you would a car, make sure you check the combine’s engine. Turn the harvester on and look for any signs of leaks in the engine, hoses or hydraulics. Listen for any problem noises such as clunking, grinding, screeching or knocking. It’s also important to check the engine meets emission standards.

8. Check the Tyres

Tyres are an essential component of your combine. When you’re hauling a 400 bushel bin weighing 12 tonnes, and the combine itself weighs 16 tonnes—that’s a lot of weight on the field.

This can cause significant field compaction, especially if the tyres don’t have the right load-carrying capacity. So check for this, as well as mobility, traction and stubble wear resistance.

9. Protect Yourself

Before you sign any dotted lines, do a quick check to make sure you’re not buying machinery that’s still under finance. To see if the seller has any outstanding finance attached to the machinery, do a PIN check.

This PIN check is also a quick way to identify whether the machinery is legit or has been registered as stolen. Please note: this will only work for those who have registered their machinery on the NER.

10. Check your finance options

Combine harvesters are an investment, and as such have a large price tag. If you need a hand financing your combine, have a chat with a broker to see what options are available that suit your needs and budget.
