Been thinking of trading up from my 9610. Was wwondering whether to go to a 9660, 9760 or 9860. They all seem to be comparable price wise for for the same hours. I'm not scared to go to a bigger machine than I need but is there something with the 9860s that I need to look out for? A new one can't be justified. TIA
I ram a 9650 etc for several years, then went to the 97 series because of the motor. The 96 was ok, but more limited than the 97. With the 97 you can cut with a 30-35 foot head at just about any speed, Engine is matched to just about any corn head from 8 to 12 rows.
To me, the 98 is a step child. To big and expensive for a 12 row corn head, but to small for anything else. Specs are similar to a 97 but much more expensive for a bigger motor that one really doesn't need in my opinion unless you are using a 12 chopping head, then you need the power.
Here in Central Illinois they had 15 9770's and 1 9870. |
