I saw a 1989 9500 in 230 bushel corn with an 843 and 2 mph to 3 mph was all it could handle, but I have no idea if it was set right. But a 9510 has alot more power than it.
We have picked high moisture corn with 9500s pushing 8rows. The engine hp sets the limit. They didn't set a speed record, but did the job going steady. The higher hp 9510 does just about as much as a 9600 with a ten row head. The question I can't answer is, how much more power does the chopping head require versus the Deere headIJ A JD head takes about 13hp per row.
The 9510 will handle the head but I don't think your feeder house reverser will hold up. We can't get ours hold up with cooler running 12 rows with Pixall rolls on a 9610. Just my experience.
Hi all, I think the chopping head draws somewhere near 20hp per row but that is just a guess. Is the feederhouse the major problem as mentioned in the other postIJ What about clean grain system, shoe capacity, cylinder capacityIJ Are they able to handle that pretty wellIJ Thanks. lA.
We never had any trouble with all the parts you are asking about. The engine hp was always the limit. The chopping head will make sure it stays that way.
The reverser will handle an 8 row. You can't compare that with your twelve row, because it takes 50% more power. I also think the reverser gear box lasts better since we're using synthetic oil. JD also recommends to use synthetic grease on the two grease zerks. Both withstand the heat better. Another thing I do now is leaving the shields of and clean the gear box of once a day to keep it cooler. This fall we had two standard reversers and two high capacity reversers in operation, all pushing 12 rows over a total of 6000 acres. Only one of the smaller gear boxes gave out and I don't know how much it had suffered before we got it.
Knew guys that had one on a 1995 9500. Put a cooler on it but still had reverser belts and gear case problems. Had to weight the back end of the combine down or wheels would lift up. Never knew wheels would come off ground till they turned up the pressure enough to even lift header high. They said it was a little much for the combine.
Sorry about the 2 posts but it was a Harvestec header that they had. I think they recommend running feederhouse at 550 with that header but they always had trouble holding speed because of either belt slipping or gearcase failing. Power was a little bit of an issue but not as much as the reverser. If you could direct drive it somehow it would be better. Header does nice job.
