ECIL | boog, D6Joe, and 7150 have great advice. For the money needed, I'd say look into a 920 head. The 200 series was a good head but IMO the 900 series was better. Chances are for the money needed to repair the 220 you could find a decent 920. I believe choice #2 is certainly worth pursuing. If you cannot find what you want for your budget then repair the 220. If you do find a 920 my guess is it will need to be an older one to fit the 7700. You wouldn't be able to utilize the fore and aft reel adjustment, the 7700 isn't equipped to do that. If you have the dial-a-matic header height contol feature you can use it on the head. Most likely you will need to redo the hyd. hoses to hook up properly and get a different harness or harness extension for the DAM hookup. Check the # of pins and their pattern to make sure.
One other thing about the 220 and feeding, was the head running level or tipped down? If it was tipped downward the beans wouldn't feed into the auger very well. And while looking at it, make sure the auger stripper plate is properly adjusted or you will slug the feederhouse a lot, even with dry beans. BTDT with the stripper plate. | |
