The biggest thing you will notice is capacity difference from a 9795 to a 9540 or bigger. They are in different leagues of class 7.

The 9540 or 9560 is really designed for a 12 row corn head and at least 40ft draper.

We run a 9695 and a 9540. When we traded for the 9540 we had an 8 row and 30 ft draper. Not near enough head. My guys were struggling with grain sample and grain loss issues and smashing heads trying to go fast enough to fill it. I traded heads for the 12 and 40ft and issues went away. Good combine after that not many issues with it.

If you do trade get the right heads and you will be happy other then trying to keep grain away from it. I never understand the guys that want a big ole combine and little bitty heads so they can run 8mph. I try to get the biggest head it can handle so I can go 3mph not crash and let head run at 600rpm doing a wonderful job
