The black sand beaches of Jamaica, IL | Haven't had any gearbox issues in 3 seasons on an 893. They will pull a little harder but don't seem to take a whole lot of hp away but will expose any weak links in the variable speed drive. For the first 2 ran it on a 9600 which worked fine but seemed to make the reverser run a bit hot. Now have a 9650 with hd reverser and cooler, runs nice and cool now.
They're not as good as a chopping head as far as sizing. But they beat any factory knife roll and can be retrofitted for a lot less than buying a chopping head. |
Calmer chopper rolls vs chopping corn head
