I want to preface this by saying I'm not trying to start a color war.  Just looking for some info.

Here's the situation:

I currently run a JD 9670 and trade combines every two years.  Run a 630 platform and a 6 row corn head.  My Massey dealer is an excellent dealer for service and parts.  I purchase all of my hay equipment(Krone) from them and most of my tractors(Fendt).  They haven't been in combine sales on any scale since the years of the Massey 750's.  They have dcecided to get into combines.  They brought in a 9695 for my neighbor to rent to own with a 6 row corn head and a 25 ft platform and they also brought in a 9795 to demo to everybody else with a 35 ft platform and a 8 row corn head.  I'll start with my neighbor, whom I'm good friends with.  On his 9695 he is lucky to get 4 mph out of the machine in 40 bu beans and he runs out of power.  Any type of green stems or weeds and he plugs the rotor almost instantly.  I've never plugged my Deere combine's rotor.  In corn, its not much better as 4 mph is all he can go and he's out of power.  He tried unloading on the go and almost stalled it in corn!!  The dealer has been out and spent many hours trying to figure things out, but hasn't had any luck.  Agco seems to be of no help either.  Onto the 9795.  I demoed it in corn last week and had about the same expierence.  I was running 7.5 mph with our machine and a 6-row head unloading on the go in 165 bu corn.  Tried the 9795 with 8 row head and about 4.5 was all it could do and I was at 3 mph unloading on the go.  They wanted me to try it in beans and I told them I wasn't wasting my time with it.

Here are my thoughts:  I think the dealer doesn't have the machince setup correctly, but Agco reps have been out and confirmed its correct.  Only thing they see that might be a problem is that the extra HP is not kicking in when you unload.  I know some on this board run newer Massey's.  How do they perform?  Any suggestions?  I was really hoping the Massey would run right with my Deere as I would rather purchase from this dealer than my Deere dealer. 

Thanks,

Scott
