Try finding a newer 850,I would stay away from 860 because they are wider and shake apart faster than the narrower 850.

For your acreage a 850 would be big enough.

I ran a 1987 850 for 3 yrs about 4 seasons ago. Nice combine did 2400 acres a year with it.

If you can find a 850 make sure it is 1985 or newer,better updates on the newer machines.
