| fezman - 9/2/2024 18:02 The 7230 is owned by a friend that runs it through the shop every year, so I know it’s been kept up, just starting to get a lot of hours , though
All of them have likely had lots of stuff replaced by now with the hours that are on them.
Once a machine is 10+ years old and has 2000+ hours on it, condition is far more important than hours. Even with lots of stuff having already been replaced, it might need a lot more.
If you don't know where/what to look at for wear on those machines, find someone that does to look at them for you. Even if you have to pay for them to inspect it you will be $1000's ahead vs buying a worn out machine for too much money.
That said, the 7010 would have to be a really good looking deal to pick it over a wide body machine. CIH only made 2 models of narrow body Flagship combines, 7010 and 7120. Everything else is wide body.
