We did have a 1999 hugger 8 row, big difference going to the 3308. Less butt shelling, less trash, being able to move stripper plates is a great tool. We did have some varieties that held onto its leaves this year so more trash than we liked. Over all works great. We had it on a 2000 R62 that we rigged up to rotate head forward and back, it worked but not great. We have purchased a S97 that works a whole lot better with this head. Really our only complaint is how you have to tighten the auger chains, you have to move bracket 2 ways at once a big pain if you are by yourself.
Like the other gentleman says, a prybar and an electric impact make the job easy. I've done it myself many times on 3300 headers. If that's the price to pay for a corn head that worth, it's well worth the admission price.
The only header I've been around that does as nice a job as the Gleaner 3300's are the Drago's. Series 2 and 3300 I put even, the GT is a notch above!
