SW North Dakota
We run a 9600 and 9610 both with 936 deere drapers in 40-50bu wheat. They will only lift the header all the way if the throttle is wide open. I did install another set of lift cylinders on the 9600 and it will lift it at any rpm now. The macdon might not be as heavy. As far as advantages the 936 is really easy to put in transport mode and has been relatively trouble free. Also the sickle design is really good. We can cut green flax stem easily. You will want to put fluid in the rear tires to offset the weight. Sure beats the old auger heads.
