Buy the spreader. The mount for the chopper is not strong enough and breaks off in row crops. We have had three of them almost fall of the combine in the last three years. Deere has a very poor design to hold the chopper on the STS, only 2 bolds and all of the weight is behind those bolts. You will not notice any difference in corn, the bean stubble will spread sufficiently but not as far as the chopper.
