Amherst WI | I'll second that. I have some freinds that had red combines for years. About 4 years ago they went the Machinery Link route and got a JD 9660 or 9770. They love the 635 hydra flex bean head. They hate the 893 corn head, with a passion. They had red heads of over 30 years and never changed a gear box, they have changed at least 3 on the 893 and one of them, they changed twice.
As long as you keep oil in the red ones they run forever.
If it were me I would go with the 1083 route. Even those are getting to be 10+ years old now. The tin is going to start cracking on them, and a 800 series head is going to be even worse. Unless you want to do a COMPLETE rebuild on a 800 series I owuld staty away from them, not that they are bad just getting really, really wore out now. | |
