Combines Thinking about a Deere

I see how it works Mondo you mention that I sound like a fake and then you take my name and praise yourself. Cheap shot Mondo.

I am an old farmer and even I dont want straw walkers. Some of the old farmers you see that look like they have parkensons ,are just symptamatic of to much time on a straw walker combine. Its dangerous boys dont run em.

What are you talking aboutIJ I didn't take your name. Why would IIJ Whom ever is doing this "handle" identity theft thing should knock it off. It's getting old, and isn't even funny...not even a little.

Hey guys, go over to Mondo's new playground. They have been bashing Marvin over there pretty good! A couple of them admited over there that they are in college and skip classes to play around on these boards using the college's T1. One of them says he builds PC's so he probably is providing these other one's with the fake names and passwords. Most likely is hacking in to get them some wayIJ

look. I don't care what type of combine anyone has (rotory or conventional). We happen to have a conventional Deere. It has served us very well. If people think that they are old or no good, so be it...THINK that. I did not once say that rotories are a bad machine. On the contrary, I think they are a very good concept with lots of capacity. And yes, they are the most popular style in North America. We do lots of baling so a rotory would not fit us as well as a conventional, and I am very pleased with the job our 9600 and 9500 combines do with our crops. I do not know about rice or wet corn, but I do know about canola, wheat, and peas, and I am happy with our combines. One day we will probably get a rotory, and I hope that it works as well as our conventionals have. I am also NOT bashing this site "bob"... so stop saying that I am O.K.

Don't let these "Green Wannabies" get your "knickers in a knot", Mondo. I, too, have a Deere conventional and migrated from a CaseIH rotary. Yes, the rotaries have the upper-hand when it comes to high moisture corn and overall capacity, but in my region we like to bale our straw and the conventionals are the only way to go. Plus, I find it easier to set the conventionals for various crops and conditions compared to the rotaries. We normally ran two combines simultaneously; - one rotary and one conventional. we've logged over 14,000 hours on 5 Deere combines without EVER breaking a walker. When we downsized to one combine, we chose the walker over the rotary, and have never regretted it!

Glad you are happy with your Deere. Dealers can sway a person, nothing worse than having a nightmare piece of equipment along with having to deal with someone you had rather not. Makes one attempt to kick their own behind if you understand the feelingIJ If someone is getting along find with one brand I see no need to trade unless it is terribly en-efficent compared to another make. Stepping into a new make just leads to a whole nuther learning process with much T and E needed.

Yeah Monda have you been hacking into Marvs site and getting peoples passwordsIJ like MINE and using it to make yourself look goodIJ Since no one can reregister that must be what youve done.

What grade you in Chads....2nd...grow up for petes sake!!!

I was actually very happy with my Axial Flow's; - the dealership changed ownership 4 times within 10 years and progressively got worse for parts and service availability. The Deere's have been good to me as well, although I don't own an STS. You're definitely correct about the "learning curve" when switching brands, though. My brother-in-law traded his 2388 for a 9760STS and, although he's happy with the Deere, he's sometimes struggling with the settings. He says it's totally different from setting an Axial Flow.
