right size of combine

[nix]

I have been thinking of what combinw owuld match up good with a 1950 chevy grain truck (ertls one), and a 1970's Ford F600 4 ton grain truck. I had in my mind either a John Deere 7720, New Holland TR88, or a Gleaner R62

go with a 7720 or even an 8820 i think that would probably be easiest to find.

[superman]

I would go with a tr88 or the gleaner because it would be something differnt

that is sort of what i was aiming at... no offence Tomas lol, i wanted something different, maby even if i built a smaller Massey... maby a 510 to 750

I need to do a 510 myself, my uncle has one sitting in his shed right now, only problem with it is the transmission. Everything else is like new.

lol none taken personally i would like a new holland better i was just sayin that because it would be ALOT easier to find.

Ertl just did a re-make of the TR88 with a new CR this past year...... you can still find em. The R62 would be tough though.

thats exactly what i was thinking Sean, I found a Gleaner and/or Duetz Allis Agco combine on Vankleys site, but they are asking 60 bucks for them... I know a friend that might give me his

I would say the 7720 for sure. i think the 1950's truck and possibly even the 1970's truck are to old to be with a TR88 or a R62. Unless your thinking of customizing the Gleaner i think you mean R52 dont you? The Ertl gleaners are R50's and R52's. If you are talking about an R62 i think it would also be too big for those trucks, i know in our area and conditions at harvest those two trucks would not keep up with our R62, although those two trucks would probably keep up with the other two combines because an R62 is quite a bit bigger then both of them with an optional 285 hp engine and a 300 bushel grain tank, it pushes a 30ft header in 60+ bushel wheat with ease.
