Combines Udgrades on 8200 headers

Is there any solid or plastic fingers that will work in place of the AGCO hollow onesIJIJ I think I broke 7 or 8 today in 50 bu. beans. Just a wad of green beans or a few weeds and they pop like glass. I'm sure not looking forward to replacing dozens of these when I only replaced one of the solid "old style" fingers on 2 different heads in a 4 year span...

workin on it. Fine line between too strong and well you know.

My dealer said he found a possible replacement from a co. in Georgia. Should be in his hands in a day or 2. We'll see. In the meantime JD's 600 series poly fingers are a decent fit. Not perfect but they will work in a pinch. I got 4 of them running on mine now and they are hanging in there. Keep me posted cause I'm not keeping AGCO afloat just by buying replacement auger fingers.

Bulliton is out on some machines that have to long bolts securing guides. Best to trim or use shorter bolts as I remember. Also I guess the older 8000 fingers will work if you change the holders. If head is updated and still having trouble with fingers I would think about the heavy fingers in feed area and stay with the hollow on outside. We hadn't had any trouble with hollow ones yet!!!

I have snapped 20 in first 500 acres. Don't try to pick-up wads of stuff ! Gonna post all of the problems I've had with my new R65 after harvest. Don't think Agco will be happy.
