Western illinois | if you can find a good 1083 with poly snouts, they're hard to beat.
just check knives. they need to be adjusted so they just miss each other.
the rolls have a square drive at the gearbox. if they are worn, the
knives won't meet the opposing roll like they should. the front gathering
chain idlers will wear where they slide through the aluminum support.
that will cause the gathering chain to wear into the stripper plate.
also the snout latches will wear out the aluminum casting making the
snouts a pia to raise. check the auger floor for cracks or even holes.
gear boxes are no trouble at all usually. all items mentioned can be
replaced. just takes money. all in all a very good head. can't help you
on the green ones. | |
