Southeast Washington | 1156versatile - 8/7/2018 06:26 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.
I agree that the 8200 was a great header when we had one. Our issue was also breaking the drive side in our rough terrain and the bar that holds the guards. Other than the drive end it was a great header but we are on to the Dynaflex headers now and the hired man loves it being a lot quieter without the fan for the air reel. |
