my uncle had a older drago several years back,and often ran two machines in the same field,we had at the time a 1063.the first year he ran the choppers,took them off half way through,because of high maintenance and poor chopping performance.the second season he ran without choppers and after season he had it in the shop for 6 months waiting for parts.traded it off for a 3206.there has been a few updates since then,but i still hear complaints about the job it does chopping.
