Combines 8010

[Chads]

Seeing how these guys are saying the 8010's have so much power there literally shucking rotors out into the engine compartment;o). And the guys over here are saying they don't have the power to pull themselves, and are just too heavy built. Sounds to me like some guys need to get together and get their stories striaght.ROFlMAO.

ears are coming off because nuts holding them on wear away in no time causing the bolts to fall out. Very poor design AGAIN.

I suppose that could be possible, except that the nuts are on the back side of the AFX front, with a countersunk bolt head on the front---next. Chads

I think in time..2-4 years getting a 8010 will be a good move Untill long live the AFX 2388's

"getting a 8010 will be a good move" based on what or is that just your opinionIJ explainIJIJ 2-4 yrs is that how long it will take to "refine" the 8010IJ I guess I don't understand since "caseih engineered the rotor" how they could build a new series and have it be so unreliable. I am a JD guy, so yeah tell me JD combines are no good, thats fine. JD introduced a whole new machine (STS),we ran one the first year out,did we have problems no. A learning curve as far as the rotor yes. Have they continued to improve it each year yep. In my "opinion" CASEIH needs a better RandD department. Been around a lot of 1680's 88's 21's and 23's good machines. As far as the 8010...only two, one had several problems, the other was a beast, but nothing more than a 9750_60 or 480. I have nothing against CASEIH or anybody that has one just think that the 8010 was a flop.

Maybe better Q and A too.

A neighbor of mine has a 2-year old 9750 STS that has a little over 400 separator hours on it. Middle of last season they had to start welding patches in the metal in several areas because holes were worn in it and grain was leaking everywhere. He also broke several tines that did some damage. He was shut down a couple days last year due to electrical problems. He told me the estimate to get it back in shape was over $20,000! Granted, about half of his acres are rice, but we're talking 400 hours here! He wants to trade but the famous Deere "resale value" isn't good enough. Needless to say he isn't a happy camper. Supposedly the 60 series are better, I certainly hope so.

Isn't that the standard answer, "The new ones have fixed all that." Chads
