North Central Indiana | This will be our third year with a 9570. 6 row corn head with calmer choppers and 630F bean head
Moved from a 9500, same corn head and 925F bean head.
We don't push it that hard in corn because it is tough to keep the corn away in high yielding corn
Biggest difference was beans. Amazing how much faster the machine can handle beans and with 5 foot more on the head and 1.2 to 2 more mph I feel we are almost twice as fast harvesting soybeans.
There have been valve issues with the 6.8 and I would do the research before buying a 9570
Neighbor last year on his second year with a 09 9570 running a 20 foot head valve let loose and parts got sucked back in and trashed the engine. I'm still under an extended warranty for this season but I still had my tech run the valves as I don't want that problem in the middle of the season.
Also the guy mentioned if your looking at a 8 row head in the future you probably can get to a 9770 for about the same money. Neighbor ran a 6 row on a 9770 for two years before he went 8 row and got along fine. Had to run singles for the 6 row | |

Will I be happy with a 9570?
