Central IL
We have our first Northstar 12R30 folding head and I am disappointed in quality. It is a 2012 and we have 400+ acres on it. Major slow on the fold, 7 minutes. The dealer came with new valve stack and it does not have enought ports. Geringhoff tech are scratching their heads on this.
We have to replace 2 of the 3 augers because the internal drive shaft was not welded correctly. We welded them up because it takes a week to get parts from North Dakota.
We have new orifices coming for the deck plates because they move so fast. It jumps 2 to 3 numbers with a push of the button.
Overall it is working but not overly happy.
