east central wi | We tried out these same machines last august in pure alfalfa. We had the NH first and thought it was good and a very simple machine but lacked a little power on the 8060 so would need to go to the 8080. When the Deere came in the afternoon we went to the field and cut about 3 mph faster and did a slightly better job cutting with plenty of power. The NH is a nice machine but the travel speed was a big difference in the field and the road and the price was about the same. We also had problems with header flotation on the NH as an earlier poster had on a CASE IH machine. We bought the Deere and so far are very happy with it with about 100 hours on it now. We had a Case IH WDX 1101 sickle machine before this. | |
