I am in the process of buying a combine to help in my new custom cutting operation. I am just starting up to see what I can do locally for some farmers that need some help. I am debating between two combines, a 1993 R62 with a 8.3 L Cummins, or a 1998 R72 with an M11 cummins.
The R62 looks like a good machine. It has 2500 separator hours, but it does need a little work on it just to update it. It also needs a new engine in it. The combine as is would cost around $10,000 plus another $10,000 for an engine and the updates, so the total would be somewhere between $20,000 and $25,000, and it is in my local area so I wouldn't have to haul it anywhere.
The R72 looks like a really good machine as well. It has 2900 separator hours and probably around 3700+ engine hours. It has a some of the R75 updates and it has RWA and duals. The owner is asking $43,000 plus shipping, so it would cost me around $45,000.
I just want to know what your experiences are, and what you think would be a better deal for me.
