I farm in central Alberta. We crop 3000 acres and run a few cows. We currently run a 9610 with a chaff cyclone. The Deere is getting a tired and it's time to upgrade. We are considering an 8120. What are these machine's like to bale behind. Mainly wheat and barley straw. And pea straw if I ever feel the urge to grow them again.
When we lived in MD. A lot of guys there bailing straw liked the straw out of a Axial Flow better than a Deere. because the windrows were more compact, and not as big and fluffy.They said they could pack more in a bale....Now I know that the combine also has to be set right. If you have a rotor set right it won't chop it up. It all depends on the quality of the straw, and knowing how to set your machine.....
sorry to disagree with you Big A when we had a 1660 we could bale a good bale of straw when we went to the 7010 and now a 7120 it is a different machine since the concaves wrap around the rotor more we sell straw it feels like we are trying to bale shaveings we make big squares and small squares you shure have to make a tight bale to keep the stringes on.
I was driving a Lexion that was baled behind. We were long gone by the time the baler got there but I hear they (Large squares) worked alright. Might be another option to look at.
i hear net arap and also a lexion should be better since lesss aggressive i know guys bale behind a 8010 with netwrap and a newer deere baler we never had much luck with our 535 we love the straw from our deere conventional
your gonna need door to open above chopper to make a windrow, newer machines option, drop knives, leaves good bunch of straw, yes will chew it up, bad thing with a rotary, scott.
Anyone found anything better then the factory ratchet lever for the concave adjustment? Mine has always been very hard to flip the direction lever on, works better for a little while if you blow it out and lube it up good, but it never works decent for very long. A new one is $143.00, which I...
I need advice for a new combine (no hill only flat land).. actually have a 2388.
Are the bushing in the midrange 140 serie combine with the new Xflow cleaning system really beefed up ?
Is the Xflow cleaning system reliable or it's better to stay with the old fashionned cleaning system with...

Had our 8240 for 5 seasons now and have had our fair share of issues with the thing. Wanted to get an idea from others if we're an outlier or if this is standard with Case combines? We ran CRs previously.

what potentiometer part number is correct for a older 1020 header on a 2166. We were sent a 127360A2. Its not working. The prev owner said the combine was working with his header. Our header was working correct on a 1440, but we were told we needed a different potentiometer for the 2166. someone...
