We have a 9610 with the standard chopper. The chopper is pathetic to say the least. We have been no tilling for a last couple few years, and have noticed an increased need for proper residue management.
I am looking for some advice as to what aftermarket chopper we should put on this machine. It needs to be capable of spreading 36 feet, and chopping residue finely. (Like what a rotary combine with a chopper would produce) I have seen what the fine cut chopper deere offers does, and its not acceptable, better, but not great.
I understand it takes more hp to chop straw finely, but its either we burn more fuel at harvest or more fuel after harvest dealing with the straw in another operation (heavy harrowing).
We grow durum, canary seed, peas, lentils and canola. Thanks in advance.
