We went from a IH 4500 to a DMI TMII & as other poster said - "no comparison" Can't tell you the differences between a TM & a TM II but between the IH & DMI there is a world of difference. Better shank spacing allows for much better trash flow, we have run our TM IIs in untouched corn stalks before. Something you wouldn't want to do often but you wouldn't get 20' with an IH f.c withouth plugging. 45/4600s didn't have the leveling hitch that the DMI has . DMI depth control is set by a hand crank on each set of transport wheels. May take a little onger to set but allows you to level better across the width of the machine. DMI is also a lot heavier built as well.

Around here it seems the green boys run green f.c.s & everyone else pretty much runs DMIs. BTW, FWIW, we are on our 3rd DMI f.c.
