Cedar Rapids, Iowa | We have a 2009 model 3800, 24 row. The fold/unfold works fine as long as you have the transport axle at the right height. This is easy on level ground, but if you're not on level ground you have to know what height to have the transport axle at or the frame will try to peel the tire off the rim.
The variable rate hydraulic drive is my biggest complaint. Lots of lag, random quirks. I don't know if the Monsanto system will control that, or if there is still a Kinze module driving that control loop.
The telescoping drive shafts to run the group of three rows on each side at the center - those shafts can get sticky. Once they seize up, when the frame tries to flex, things bend and break. | |

Does anyone have anything good to say about Kinze 3800s these days?
