Can you put staight blades on in the middle and keep the paddle blades to the outside. Or are the straight ones just as much $$. For a thousand dollars you might aswell throw in another $1300 and get a MAV rotor upgrade. Just a thought.

The paddle blades are 67.00 for a set of 4 and the straight blades are 34.00 fo a set of 4 roughly. I thnik I need all the paddle blades for spread width. Can you put a mav rotor upgrade in sts factory chopperIJ I did not know they had a upgrade. If I could do that for 2300.00 I might be interested.

I've got the brochure in my hand now I'll read it to you word for word. "Turn your John Deere into a crop residue manager. Achive a finer cut, wider spread, and superior performance with a complete MAV residue manager or a MAV rotor upgrade to the factory chopper. Improve the MAV rotor upgrade even more with these options: 1. Optimized 12 vane tailboard for the widest speading capabilities up to 45 feet. 2. tight knife bar kit (1 inch counterknife spacing) for the finest posssible cut." For, I think around $2300 to $2600 you can just get the MAV rotor and drive pullies. I believe JDs are the only ones where you can simply throw a MAV rotor into the factory chopper. We're thinking of doing this to our 9600.

What is the problem with spenting a $1000 on a $100,000 machineIJ I guess i don't understand the problem. I work on these combine all the time. All the customer here wouldn't think twice about replacing them.

Thats the problem. All these J.D. lovers have been blind folded and lead by Deere Will never ask if there is a better way to do things with out it coming from deere. After running competive models for many years and NOT having to put out $1000.00 per year to keep the chopper working and yes they do just as good of job as spreading as deere. Its a little hard to swallow. I just do not like pay twice as much for something as what it should cost.

"and yes they do just as good of job as spreading as deere." Man the life-boat, the BS is getting deep in here. I would like to see another brand that spreads as good as a deereIJ For one thing a Case spreader system can't spread straw out decent for a 20' head let alone a 30' head. Have you ever seen a corn field that was planted in wheat stubble combined by a red rotor machineIJIJIJIJIJ Spend the extra dollar and spread the residue right. If you are a decent no-till farmer, you will know where I am coming from on this one.

There are other machines (I was not thinking of a case although they are not as bad as you say if set right) that spread better than a Deere and have for a long time. You think that only a beloved DEERE can do the job. I have a deere but I do not worship it like you do. Till 2 years ago all you would see behind a sts was a tri-stream discharge of bean stubble with a max width of 25 feet.

Ok i'm going to get this out there. CASEIH or CNH or who ever they are SUCKS. It all comes down to who sells more volume nation wide and why. Case managers and mechanics stop by the dealership in the area weekly looking to come work for deere. Why is that i wonder. Maybe they know something.
