This is my haul from the show.  I got a 5488 from John Esche. It is really nice.  I am kicking myself for not buying a couple of things that I saw on Friday that were gone on Saturday. I guess that goes to show that if you see it and want it you better grab it. |

You picked up some nice things. I plan on making a 5488 similar to that myself. Do you like the Gleaner?

That 5488 looks great, is that one of those new castings? Im assuming it is.

Thanks guys. The Gleaner is pretty nice. The auger doesn't raise high enough as it pivots out. It barely clears a grain cart. The authentic CIH are so nice it makes about any other combine look bad, unless it is a custom. I don't think the Gleaner will go on my harvest crew. It is going to make an appearance in a demo, but I am guessing a 6088 will replace the 8120 on the harvest run next year.
Jacob, That is the new casting on the 5488. I thought about it for a while and by the time I bought all the tractors for tire donors and the hitch I would have almost had as much in it as he wanted for it, plus it he did a way better job than I would ever have.
