East Central Indiana | Now this is coming from a red combine guy but here are my thoughts.
If you are planning to go to an 8 row head in the near future don't buy a class 5 machine. We have been running a 5088 with an 8 row head for 7 years. And I wouldn't do it again. Our next machine will be a class 7.
It does OK if corn is dry but if you try to push 23% moisture corn through a class 5 with an 8 row head it's not going to be a lot of fun. And even in dry corn you will have to watch your speed or you'll be throwing some over the back.
If you never shell anything until it's 17% you might be alright.
Now I'll probably get the responses from those with green underwear that a green combine would not have that problem. Yada yada yada. But I have really good friend who sells for Deere and he said it's the same way with their class 5.
Deere makes an excellent combine. But a class five isn't meant to push 8 rows and sure isn't meant to push 12!!! | |

Will I be happy with a 9570?
