Mating a JD 635F to a 2388

We have been talking about header shopping the last few days and have been impressed with the speed of cutting in beans that everyone has been able to do with the 635F headers. I am sure this is our last year on our 2388, but want the upgrade in header this year to save a few more beans at the price they are at. Has anyone done this or are there any kits available for this? Thanks!

It's quite easy to do a chinese wheelie with a 9770 and a 635F. I've done it and I watched another operator lift the back wheels over 2 feet. As for weight, a 635F lists at 6620 lb. while a Honeybee SP36 lists at 4745 lb. without reel and adapter. Add them and you'd be close to the same weight as a 635F. The Honeybee's weight is further out, but I think if a 2388 can handle a 635F it can handle a SP36.

yep your right!! only bad thing about that is i have seen a few 21-2388 break that rear axle in half when they come back down...the wheels fold up and hit the side shields make a nice little crease...like it was ment to be there haha
