I see your point, I feel your pain, er shut up Tom!! I think the R42's should be discontinued, if any. I really don't see hardly ANY 42's advertised anywhere anymore and I live in an area where class VI and VII combines are fairly rare (Class VII is nonexistant. Have only seen pictures!). Getting to be a few more class VI though. We just traded an R50 for a 52 - the 50 being quite close to what a current 42 is and we were, at times, wishing for mo' power. Most corn is 6-30 and have seen an R62 with a 6 row head and the guy was FlYING and pacer was pegged on faster. Can't really do a good job at the head at those speeds - even have to cruise with a 50_52 at times. So eliminate the 62 thenIJ No, 'cause the guys in the hills like them better than the 52's due to the super wide shoe. They claim a 62 in sidehills around here will perform about the same as a 52 on the flat. I say keep the 52, 62, and the sweet mother of the harvest, the 72 and get rid of the 42. In the future, perhaps make class V thru VII same basic machines like the "N" series were to improve parts commonalityIJ Just my $.02 and that's usually All it's worth!
