Subject: RE: Shopping for a new Self Propelled Forage Harvester



I would stay away fro the 19 and 2100/15 series to hard to service. the 5 series FXs were built before the 0 series. If I remember right, the biggest of each series have a Cat engine the others have Iveco. The 0 series have a hydraulic drive for the feedrolls and a hydraulic control for the speed on the processor. The hydraulic stuff did away with the reversing gearbox for the feedrolls and the gearbox that controlled the "LOC" length of cut. Always thought the processors on the FXs were a pain in the arse to fool with. We replaced our processor with a diameter kit and shredbar to crack the kernals. I would think that any size of any of the series would handle a six row except for the smallest of each series. The smallest of each series would handle a four row very well. If you cut a lot of haylage, the FX will still be moving when the others get gummed up.
