Strathcona, mn | Be never had a 800 or 8000 head. I’ve had 300, 500, and now 8200 heads. I have one 8200 with an orbit reel and one without. The orbit reel does make a difference. An air reel would be better but the orbit reel is a step up from nothing. I also agree that the full finger auger is not a huge advantage. More of a pain when it breaks fingers off. The large flighting feeds very well. They are the first auger heads I can cut beans with so late in the night that I get excessive rotor loss. Will they feed as nice as a Draper, no, they won’t. Do they feed well price comparatively, yes they do. They had issues with the steel plate breaking where the wobble box attaches to the knife back. Also they had issues with the first skid plate cracking where the wobble box attaches. I’ve taken an extra skid plate and doubled them up. I’ve also added a piece of steel to the knife back. Between the two I’ve not had any of the known issues there. The sch drive is great.... but it is heavy and adds stress to the system. Imo they are very good auger heads. | |
