Rivers, MB | What's the main differences between these 2 headers besides cost and 1 less foot. We upgraded one combine today so will be looking for another header. We already have a 936D on another combine so kind of leaning towards another 936D. I don't like the transport system on the 635. Is the knife anymore visible from in the combine on the 600 series than the 936D's. Any operational differences. Maintenance issues?

| What crops? |
|

|
Rivers, MB | sorry, forgot that. Wheat, peas, oats, maybe flax.
|

|
| Do you like to flex the peas? Then get the 635. Otherwise stay with a draper. |

Husker Country | If cutting on the ground 635FD. What combine? |

Rivers, MB | We don't have a flex header so are harvesting peas with the draper head. We've actually harvested peas since '99 with a 930 rigid head as well with very good results. This head will be going on a 9860Premium. Shouldn't be any problem putting a 936D on a 9860, should there?

Manitoba Canada | The 635D will cut much closer to the ground with the full poly skid and being able to ajust the tilt of the header from the cab. Another nice feature is that when you reverse the header the center canvas and reel go in reverse as well. Alot of the time when you get a little stone or dirt stopping your center canvas you can just reverse it instead of getting out. The transport is a pain to work with compared to the 936D and we plug the center drum quite often on these 635D headers compared to the 936D headers we had, no one can tell us why this is. Over all i still like the 635D better then the 936D for cutting lower and faster. I hope your 9860 premium is better then what we had, lots of broken parts in the chopper drive and feeder house as well, no power at all either, low engine rpm light on all day. The dealer tried for 2 years to get power out of it, the resolve was 9870's, no more broken chopper parts and lots of power, but of course that was just us having problems and no one else so they tell you. |

ne colorado | I was told a 635d electronics and hydraulics have some issues working together on a 60 series combines |
|

|
Husker Country | I think your right there are updates needed to put a 635D on a 60 series combine. |
|
|
|
ne colorado | Ya but even after the updates or upgrades not all the functions work was told to. It is because deere wasn't making 635d's when 60 series were being made and was told even early 70 series have to updated |

Roseglen, North Dakota | The 2 biggest advantages of the 635 vs 936 are double knife drive on the 635 (always breaking sickles on the 936) and center delivery on the 635--feeds much better and eliminates the right-hand canvas 'slipping' on the 936 when in heavy crops or green straw. That being said, the 936 is much simpler, no electronics. And there certainly are issues trying to run a 635 on a 9860. |

| Why bother with a draper. Get a 635R. |
|
|
|
| would I get a another rigid header after running a draper |

 North central North Dakota | I bought the 936D when first made for my 9610. After fire last year and replacing combine with a 9870, I converted the 936D to work with single point hookup. I had also put on the headsight height control and extra poly on leaf spring as well as the Deere poly under cutter bar. Since I already owned the header, I was not really wanting to upgrade for a bunch more money.
The headsight allows for close cutting and no dirt digging. Made it a new head for me - for not a lot of money. Granted I only use it for wheat but works nice for me. I use my 635F with Crary air wind bar on canola and soybeans.

Oregon | I dunno... I suspect that the only people who like the 9xx haven't run a 6xx. IMO the 6xx is better in every single way. It feeds better. The belt tables are better. The suspension is WAY better. The center drum is better. The sickle drives are better. You get the idea... I only have experience in wheat and in wheat I really like the 6xx and I really hate the 9xx. My favorite 9xx experience involved a failed carrier arm (running from the back of the spring shackle up) which dropped the heading onto the center beater assembly and took it out. That field repair was throughly enjoyable. -Mike |
