hi, Guy, we are from North Battleford, sask, and its snowing again tonight. The machine itself is great but it trully needs 375plus hp. we run a 36ft draper and under load , trying to unload on the go you need more power. it seems to me that these companies are trying to get more hp out of smaller engines while trying to keep up with emission standards and the motors can't handle it , unless I,am told different. I would be interested in talking to your neighbor to see what story he was told , either from Agco or Cummins. thanks
