Combines Where was the 8010 at Dakota FestIJ

You guys must not have read my post I said I am not trying to start anything, I said I thought it was sad that they did not have an 8010 and that I thought it was a joke not too have one there, I farm and have ran every color and you case addicts jumped all over me trying to say that I thought J.D. was better and I never said that so next time do not get so upset about your red .

like I said the power of marketing! They got you beleiveing it dont they. Will it make you feel better lets call the 9660 a detuned 9860 for 40.000 less, now are we happyIJ

I have ran every color too and have to say that these days the guys running the red stuff are far worse than the guys running green. I don't know if they have an inferiority complex or what but they get terribly defensive when they think you're saying anything bad about something red. Both colors have their good and bad points.

Wow!...Did you hit the nail on the head, never seen such a reaction!!!....It does make for good entertainment..which can be in such short supply nowadays!!!

And I was defending your original post, dakotaboyIJ Maybe cyclonedave was right and I owe him an apology. I don't think you read my reply right at all!!!!!!!!!!!

Much happier! ;-) Does it really make any difference either wayIJ Although I really don't care for the STS's, I must admit the 9860 is one hungry machine, especially in green-stem spybeans. I've never seen ANY rotor do as well!

Sorry about the "typo" above! I meant "soybeans", not "spybeans". Didn't want anyone on this forum to get paranoid.

NO worries you deer people can't spell very well anyway ops i meant DeerE people

I have. The STS has impressed me very few times, and it is really a stretch to consider it a class 8 machine. I think I could call my 915 International a class 8 too if I put an N14 Cummins up there on it. When put in the field against other more legitimate class 8 machines, the STS shows its true hand, it is an overpowered class 6 that John Deere makes an absolute killing on by praying on the green loyalists who don't and won't shop around. Good for Deere, what a company! Wal-Mart has nothing on them. The STS had an equally rocky start as the 8010; it's just taking CNH a lOT longer to improve it to an acceptable level than it took Deere. However, the 8010 has vastly more potential than the STS. Then again, there are two twin rotor makes out there that show them both up quite handily.

Hello Harvester, Do you consider yourself impartialIJ Judging by most of your posts, I wouldn't think so! And are you basing you opinion on "fact", or have you merely read a few brochures! I guess the "burning" question in my mind is that, if CaseIH has such a "Rock-solid" combine, then why is one of thier more prominent dealers (in Ontario) now selling lexion'sIJ
