East Central Ia | I would also vote for the Lexion... if you have a good dealer. If you are in Iowa... you do. I have heard great things about Ziegler... and experienced first hand how good Altorfer is in my area.
I ran a 12r30'' on my 740 this year and could not believe the capacity in corn. You can virtually eliminate combine loss with all the adjustments you can make on these machines... and almost all of them are from inside the cab.
I planted 120' of endrows and had no trouble turning around without skipping a pass, and I never adjusted my steering stops. It does not turn near as well as my 7120 did... but with 30'+ heads and enough room on the end it was a non issue for me. I could turn on 80' of endrows with a 40' flex head almost comfortably... lol little room to spare.

That video was taken on a flat and then heading downhill a little... hence the 73% engine load at the end. A 740 machine has way more capacity then it has enough hp to maintain in hills or wet conditions. A 750 is the same insides except its got a good 75hp more from the C13 engine.
My next machine will be on tracks... and I would strongly consider the Turbo Chop chopper instead of the Mav. I was content with the MAV... but in any wind it really struggles to throw it far enough. There are a couple adjustments I will make to it for next year, but people seem to rave about the Turbo Chop. | |
