That's a bunch!!! Will take a lot of $1.70 corn to buy one. Don't look like he is giving you much for your TR99IJ I have seen a few used CR940's for a lot less than a new one. Ilnh
I didn't give the whole picture. He allowed $55,000 for our TR-99 and $7000 for the 973 flex-head. He was selling us a 30' flex-head too. The 973 won't work on the CR's. We have a one year old 8 row corn head that will fit a CR. I really want a 36' flex-draper, but the MacDon is the only one available so far Honeybee is working on one, but I haven't seen it yet. I don't care for the MacDon. I
We have a neighbor that got two CIH 8010 combines with the 36' flex draper heads here and he did his beans with them the other day. It looked to do a really nice job. I think the CIH flex draper is a MacDonIJ You may want to look at a Crary air head alsoIJ Ilnh
Just curious, if you were going to empty your bank account anyways, why wouldn't you go for a 970, and get the big oneIJ i thought the cr 940 would only be a slight increase in capacity over the tr99
run as fast as you can from a crary airhead. I had a 36' one and set it back yesterday. would not float would not cut and would not feed or keep running. from what I hear the flex drapers won't match a flex head for cutting close, but I have not ran one
No, Essentially the CR940 and TR99 have approximately the same engine HP. The CR is about 20 hp more, but with the EPA regs the electronic management must derate fuel in certain conditions while the old mechanical pump on the TR engine never derates. The CR940 rotors are the same diameter as a TR99 but they are about 20" longer. The real big difference is the separator not the threshing mechanism. From my experience when all threshing conditions are favorable to make use of it, that new separator will allow much greater capacity than the TR ever dreamed of. When threshing is tough to start with though, both machines run about the same.
HP is the only difference in the CR's 940 and 960.The CR's are at least 10,000 pounds heavier too, so they need more HP.I found that the 940 is under powered in most adverse conditions like mud. This year with green soybean straw the 940 needs more HP. The CR's with the longer rotor's, self leveling shoe, and the rethresher are a much better machine, really unmatced in the industry.
The reality is that the CR Combine is built with a range of user needs. You can view 2004 pic's and video of the CR Combine in the field for this 2004 harvest. Come visit us at your convienience.
