“Our Axial-Flow Combine range has been improving harvest quality and productivity and maximising operator comfort for more than 40 years,” Tim said.

“The 6130 lives up to these high standards, with no combine simpler to operate, or more efficient around the paddock, regardless of the crop, field condition, or farm size.”
