Is there any aftermarket speed up kit(smaller/larger pulley) available for the chopper of a Deere STS 9870?
TIA,
Hans

We will run 40ft swathers only this coming season,so i need the shortest possible cut and widest possible spread...Had the stationary knives all the way in last season,worked awesome when it was dry,but when it gets tough i would like to get a better cut.The Deere chopper is already lightyears ahead compared to the 8010s we used last year,i still can see every pass of the 8010s during seeding,even after a pass with the heavy harrow.I am glad we run only Deeres this year.

Thanks for your input greentech.How much is that redekop rotor?We have the powercast tailboard on the 9870 that we ran last year,it tends to spread to much straw to the very outside in tough conditions,the spread pattern is not 100% even.

What exactly is the control bar?Thought it would be the the bar where the stationary knives are attached to...
