are they the same family as leased the greenfield farm in kilkenny to the holy trinity ?AFAIK they are, on what scale I couldn't tell you. Around the time of the big JD that you mentioned they took a lot of land. I remember as a young lad they had a farm taken in Fenniscourt and there was 9 combines spread over 3 fields harvesting, not all their own machines mind.
I'm no expert on combines, but based of of my dads experience, NH 8060/70 will be down your alley. loaned our 8070 to a friend who had a field i would say was more like a mountain but i digress, the main issue was that some of the belts were slipping but that was it.So I was looking over combine options again and a few questions come to mind. I keep seeing a dominator 76 listed in donedeal which seems like a good option so had a look at specs again for this machine and a few questions for the experts here
Its a 4 walker - not ideal - we are on hilly ground.
Drum is only 450mm and 1060mm wide - is this a concern?
this seems very small compared to say the NH 8040/50 600mm and 1040mm wide or even old masseys 500 series 560mm and 1100mm wide ??
Acreage will probably only be about 50-80 acres max but I want something that will cut 2-3 acres/hour.
I can use contractors but I'd like to own the process if possible. Budget 7-8k.
That dominator 76 had been on done deal this two years I think if it's the same one, must be a catch to itSo I was looking over combine options again and a few questions come to mind.

Thanks lads that was my initial thought last year when saw the 76 but got tempted again when see it’s still there.
@nashmach that’s a good option but sure the transport would kill it!!!
they will alright. had a 695 mega to do our own silage and the neighbours, but when she got goin, the ear protectors were wantedThose old claas would give you some headache with the engine roaring right behind you
It doesn’t was only taking the piss:Thumbp2:.Surly get something home like that for 800-1000? Even cheaper if just dropped to rosslare for you.
If the budget would stretch to something so new
It doesn’t was only taking the piss:Thumbp2:.
Be a nice machine to operate wouldn’t matter how slow it was sure be a pure pleasure in that cab!
A decent Tx will be 12k+. 10k would be tops really. A good 8060/70 was plan A don’t know much about the 8055 but probably would be fine also. Don’t see many deutz around here to be honest.Would you look at a tx new holland or are you gearing towards a claas?
Somthing like a Deutz 3580 maybe, actually not sure would you get one for your budget.

I know our old 3610 is in Kellys , it’s a shame it was left sitting so long as it looks a shame now but it was a very good combine to thrash .... could be worth a cheeky bid..... I’d even chance offeing something under 10k for it but I’d be going straight to Maurice about it
And if you went in with a reasonable offer it would be flat out refused while they'd happily let a machine rot outside and take a lot less for off the export lads in the end.Seen many a good machine going in there looking great and years later still there with flat tyres and a lot more weathered looking
