North East Kansas | We traded from a 9510 walker to a 2577 axial flow machine. The 9510 had a real bad first year because of factory assembly problems and belt problems probably caused by sitting on a lot for a year, but after that we didn't have one break down for 5 years. Having said that, we are very pleased with our 2577. The 2577 is beefed up in a lot of areas over the 2388 in places like the rear axle and sheet metal thickness. Our 2577 had a couple of factory assembly problems also, but they were simple fixes. We demoed a 2377 last year with a 1020 flex head. We couldn't stand the 1020 because in heavy stubble soybeans the cutter bar would push up on us in the center even when we set the platform for the maximum possible down pressure. When we went to ride with someone to look at a 974 draper, we noticed that all of the case combines had green flex platforms on them. We like our combine right now, but need more hours on it to know it is a good combine. We are running a 2062 draper (macdon draper), and a drago cornhead so I have no idea what the red cornhead is like. I still love our old 9510, but the case combine looks like a great combine also. The case combine seems very easy to work on. | |
