just bought an 8010 that had large flotation type tires in the back, and now has more row-crop type, similar to most that you see. Rear of combine looks lower than most. Looked at several and most rear axles are raised. Any ideas if there's an angle machine must ride front to back?
Also any one have or know how to get service info, such as changing various oil reservoirs, amounts, and such?

We jacked ours up 1 hole past level and made a huge difference in grains and oil seeds (if you put a angle finder on main frame rail ours are tipped 2 degrees) Dont forget to reset your feeder face when your done!

Thanks for the tips. I assume the feeder face angle is in the owners manual?

17 degrees measured on the back sheet of the head in cutting position as far as oil change intervals should be in operators manual most I`ve found are too long especially grease intervals we have added zerks too all pivot points ( idler arms) and grease the chopper bearings once a week instead of 300 hrs some people don`t put that many hours on in a year
