Witmer's Equipment in Columbiana, Ohio sold a Gleaner K in decent shape (few small things wrong) this past summer for $9000. I thought that was crazy. Apparently there is a market for very good clean used smaller combines right now.
I've been saying for years that if someone would build a small easy to haul combine with modern features like air conditioning and hydraulic unloading auger and a _quiet_ cab that they would sell on a specialist market. Problem is, to get people to buy, the price would have to be under $20,000. It probably couldn't be done for less than $60,000. Just look at what a new square baler costs!
I must say, that Gleaner K would have looked great in my shed for $5000. $8000? Maybe if all the belts were less than a year old, and all hydraulic hoses the same. With that much age, just sitting, too many things can go wrong.

You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
