Combine

There is very little consistency in scrapping or parting out a combine. As Caleb pointed out, it depends on the brand and model. The only consistency I have found is removing and selling the engine and heads separate is profitable. All of the information posted is right on. The one other element for you to consider is the history of purchases of combines in your area. Many times a local dealer would sell the same model to local farmers in the same year. Sometimes neighbor farmers would get together to make a multi deal. What this means to you is local small farmers might be interested in parts to repair their combines. The smaller the farmer, the more they depend on older equipment. If it is old enough check out the specific web site that supports a forum on that brand. Huron, SD will be hosting the Big Red National Conference (Case/International) in 2014. Other national conferences would be valuable as well. Good luck.
