I went to price out a speed up kit from deere and they quoted me $630. That seems high. Is there any place I can get an aftermarket one for less money?

Precision farm parts sells one. I think it is around $500, but that was for a 9600.

If your talking rear beater on STS precision has them for less than $300.

The only speed up kit Deere makes is for 9600 beater drive and it's actually a slow down kit with the pullies reversed. It gives roughly a 30% increase. Last one I bought was $402 canadian dollars. Should be less in USD. Part # BH78623. It's a whole goods kit which means it takes 1-2 weeks for a dealer to get it.

The PF kit is $492 USD and gives a 60% speed up.

The PF STS rear beater speed up kit is $269.43 USD
