Drago 6R on 2166???

Thinking about putting a 6 row chopping Drago head on a CIH 2166. Pretty disappointed in the 1063 butt shelling in dry corn this past fall and my stalk chopper is pretty well hatched. Would the 2166 have enough power? Generally running 200 bu. corn and always unloading on the go. Thanks-

yam, should be no problem. Make sure and put on the newer style header drive belt and feeder jackshaft belt, these will not slip as easy. Have a customer with a 2406 on a 1660 and he loves it. We also changed the front gearbox over to 75-90 all synthetic gear lube.
