Caldwell County Kentucky | I've had a IH 963 corn head for 11 years now. The tin work is cracking, I just riveted on some panels over the cracks. Replaced the auger trough since it was cracking. Put in a poly on top of the metal trough-works fine.
Two of the gearboxes didn't hold oil when I got the head, they still don't. I just put in a bunch of JD corn head grease once or twice a harvest-works fine.
Doesn't matter what speed (mph, not over 5-6 mph) you run, the corn stalks are pulled down and cut off whereas the JD heads leave the stalks sticking up in the air 3,4, or 5 feet leaning the direction the combine ran.
I'd go with the 883 or 1083.
