There was a F2 gleaner with A430 corn head and 13ft grain head at auction in St.Louis Mi. today. It had 2594 engine hours and 1945 seperator hours. Package sold for 2500.00 dollars. It was gas engine but was pretty clean. Did anybody go to the sale near Brant Mi. today. There were two Massey combines for sale, one 550 with rear wheel assist and one 540. Would like to know what they sold for. I wish I would have bid on the Gleaner but couldn't get my hand out of my pocket.

Well, wouldn't ya know it, I was there too. In fact I know where that combine came from. That was a nice little machine, the corn head was just like new on it. Downside it was a gas. The guy that owned it was kind of hard on things. His uncle took off all his crops this year and in his wheat went around the weedy spots. The guy that owned the F2 it went out there tried to take off the weeds, plugged it bad, started ramming on it and exploded the separator clutch. He drove it all the way there in 2nd because he couldn't get it to move in 3rd, too much belt slippage. Before it went to the auction he found out the thing holds water really good, and it freezes really good too.

If you are looking for a nice Massey 550 I have one along with a 43 corn head and a 13 ft grain table that has a floating cutter bar. If you are interested in it let me know.
