Make sure it has the latest engine software, I ran mine all year without it with no complaints of lack of power, but was told it really came alive once downloaded. My new 88 was said to already have it but was double checked before it left the factory and didn't. There's also lot's of opinions on rotor set-up and I'll go ahead and give mine. I like no reverse bars with nine sweeps. Less rotor loss and more through-put, some will say differrent, but in my conditions that's what works the best. Nice looking machine you have there. Oh, that want be any problem eating there lunch, you might want to pick on the class 9's.
They now claim to be going back on sometime after Jan. So like on the 78 I'm going to have to put them in at my expense, and yes you need to put them half way into the discharge to really smooth out the chopper, especially when you run in green beans in low range. I like high range in all condition's, just run rotor speed according to conditions. Usually 420-670.
