I THINK THE HEAD WIll WORK GOOD IN BEANS BUT I AM CONCEARNED ABOUT THE ANGlE OF THE GUARDS TO THE GROUND. HAVE GOTFEEDER All THE WAY BACK AND AJUSTED SKID PlATE BOlTS TO TRY TO GET GUARDS lEVEl CRARY SAYS THEY HAVE GOT A SHIM KIT THAT THEY THINK WIll HElP WIll TRY THAT IF IT WANTS TO DIG. BUT ON YOUR HEAD MAKE SURE YOU CHECK All BOlTS ON GUARDS MINE WERE lUCE GUARDS ARE DIFFERENT FROM WHAT CRARY HAD BEFORE MAKE SURE YOUR DEAlER HAS SOME ON HAND. ONE ClUTCH ON ONE OF THE PTO SHAFTS NOT SET RIGHT JUST SlIPPED AT FIRST.THE lATCH THAT lOCKS THE HEADER TO THE COMBINE WElDED ON HEADER IN WRONG PlACE NEEDED TO BE CUT AND REWElED. All THESE OTHER COMPANYS HAVE SURE MADE THERE AUGERS COMPlICATED WITH RETRACTABlE FINGERS AND CRARY COMES UP WITH SOlID FINGERS THAT WORK. AlSO ORDERED 90 BU. HOPPER EXTENTION FROM CRARY. IF ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ASK IHAVE A FREIND THAT AlSO HAS BEEN RUNNING A 8O1O WITH A 39ft HONEYBEE. GOOD lUCK

I hope the crary head works in soybeans as we bought two a 36' for the 8010 and a 25' for a 66 you put picture frame clear backIJ I always ran my 1020 10 degrees ahead. then let her down they'll float over anything if this thing doesn't work I'll have a 40' 1020 next year some one will make it for me. or G0D forbid a JD header (could paint it)

Is your caps key sticking; otherwise stop using capitol letters.

Sorry about using the caps I did not know how to unlock till I asked my wife. Much easyer to run my combines. THANKS AGAIN.

hadn't thought of that guess I thought 21 was enough I think you can put an extender on the end or maybe just one of those rubber ends like deere uses now. Are you using your 36 footer in flex mode or solidIJ I am concerned with how it flexes. Was a the Farm Progress show today and this lexion 590 is a beast Talked to Jeff running it and he said they had shelled 5100 bph with the thing down in Kentucky. the 16 row 30" head is a monster. Then on top of that who ever was running the 8010 just had to throw a bunch of corn out for everyone to see CaseIh should let someone who knows something run these machines at farm shows because they sure as he-ll didn't I hope the Grand Island boys read this too.

Tony were runing ours in ridgid but just took bolts out for flex. Tryed to lift 18row today but it would not so were adding 3rd cylinder. So Case screwed up another demonstration should let a farmer set it and run.

I was at the FP Show on Tue. and the 8010 was set pretty well then. It was putting out less corn then most onto the ground. An impressive machine but I don't care for the black color.
