Hi Ed How did you like the R50 and why did you go to the 1688 and not the 1666. What size of head did you have on the 1666 when you tryed itIJ What size do you have on the 88IJ The 88 looks to me to be alot bigger. Do you have any problems with that big of a combine when you clip White beansIJ Thanks for the help.
farmboy, the 2166 works nice with a 25ft. 1020 flexhead and a 6row cornhead. Probably biggest complaint I hear on 2166 is the position of the cab filter on rh side of cab above drive wheel. Not real familiar with white beans.
The R50 has lots of capacity if you get the reverse bars in the right place. I had a 318 Allis header but have used a 20 foot CaseIH 1020 on it the past 3 years. Used this same header on the 1666 and the 1688 until bean harvest when we acquired a 25 footer. (still have the 20' with a good adapter)
