North Central Kansas | I have no experience with corn but we demoed a 7010 w/afx rotor with a 30' flex draper this week cutting milo. As your name implies we bleed red. Our dealer is a really good CaseIH dealer. No cat dealer's near us now with the foley/martin merger and the dropping of the Ag side. Not that Cat in our area was ever big. I think they might have sold some out of the Salina store but I have never seen one in this area. Deere dealer told us that we have to pay to join the club so we aren't members.
Have a Agco dealer close but not sure about the long term on his operation now that the orange tractor has been dropped.
We were really impressed with the 7010. We ran it in some 150+ bushel milo and it was incredible. I will say that it probably needs a little more power as I had to catch my self pushing it too hard. The cab is so quiet that you can't hear the motor pulling down like my old 1680. It would cut half again as much as the 1680's and 2188 would in the same time. Sample was as good as the other combines. The draper was incredible in milo. 30' head with tracker fit better than our 25' heads do.
This year has definitely been a challenge on setting combines. The last week has been the best harvest days of the last two months. Crop is finally dry and the stalks are dry.
I know that the guy's that traded 7010's all went for 8120's so my guess is that they wanted the horsepower boost. I think they ran 12 row heads on this 7010.
Broke under 100 acres last night. Hope today is the day.
