Great for you.We also were a little scared buying our 8560 years ago dealers all said conventionals would be out earlier and later than us.I laugh every time I'm out or drive by and see neighbor's in the shed a little later and sooner out they come.Once asked to borrow neighbors truck on overcast day and he got madder than hell when I told him I'd combined all our stuff full and no elevators were open to haul it in.He wasted his day sitting in house.

We had a similar situation in soft red winter wheat a few years ago. Winter had taken its toll on the stand, harvest was rain delayed, and the weeds were heavy and taller than the wheat. Our 8570 sailed right on through, while the conventional machines crawled and stopped to un-slug often. Differet on tough soybeans, though. The 8570 is like a fish out of water. We rented a new 8780xp, and I know it will out-run most conventionals on the market in tough soybeans.
