Why not consider a 9860IJ despite the similarities in specs, my neighbors 9860 will "smoke" my 9660 in any crop!

I 've never ran a 98 but it seems that the 9660 STS's power is the perfect match for the rest of the combine. In wheat we start to lose too much out the back before we lose power( more hp=more on the ground). In corn, 200+ bu_ac, 8 row at 6.5 mph I've still got power to spare, but the clean grain elevator can't handle it. In rye which is 5 or 6 feet tall, at times I will run out of power but if it's really heavy and down the feed accelerater starts to chatter and growl like it's about to plug. So from my expierence more power is of little or no use. I've heard this fall that some local 9860's in really good corn were smoking belts on the clean grain because they were getting backed up with corn.

Sounds like there is something wrong with your clean grain elevator. I have pushed 96s with a twelve row through 250bu corn (over 4000bu_h) with no problem. I have seen 9650STS push twelve row heads in 250bu corn at over 5mp_h with a chip in.
