I tried to pick up a 1293 with a kooima adapter plate with our then 6950, it didn't work, hydraulic wise or weight wise. it was 4x4 with maybe 30 weights on the back bumper. without the plate it worked fine.

 id just buy drop boxes to drive it. put a plate under rolls, and cover holes as best you can. it will work better with the serrated flat bar upper front feed roll, not the spiral. ours worked very well out of the box with 8 row, when switching to 12 you have to get more picky.

ive always taken rubber paddles off auger and double reverse flighted the center of the auger.
