SW KS, near Dodge City | Those early heads were bad about losing grain. We hung a 20' on a TR70 in about that time fram. The problem was the transition where the stripping rotor dumped the grain on the belt that took it to the auger. Complicated setup that didn't work worth a hoot. Then we got the R62 & went back to straight cutting until I finally convinced Dad to go back to the stripper head. The CVS is light years ahead of that old SR series head. We have one of the early CVS heads, and we did have to replace the gearbox at the rotor, the housing had cracked. Not cheap, but even w/ the added expense I would still go w/ a stripper head over a straight head.
Edit: Yep, talk about adding capacity in a hurry. Putting that on that TR70 made it perform like an 8820 Titan II!!
