How big of a bean head on a 4400

Farmerpete2400 · Mar 23, 2010

I was wondering how big of a bean head I could run on a 4400 diesel combine. Would a 16' be too much? I know I could just leave 3 feet on one side open and not have a full 16'. Will it be able to lift it? Would I have the capacity to run a 16'?

Thanks guys!

yes it will handle a 16' foot pretty good, in really good beans, check behind your combine as you can run them to fast and put them out the back

The literature says a 4400 can handle up to a 20 foot flex head. (a 220 series flex head, don't know about the 920 series)

a 220 would be awesome, but do you guys think that it could work in 45-75 bu beans?

My 6600 with the 329 didn't always handle a 216 with ease. 60-70 bushel beans were plenty. Just lay off some. I kept the head when I moved up to a 7720 Titan II. It was pretty funny looking, I could fly with that thing. I liked the head because I could go down the road with it on.

A 4400 will handle a 16 foot head with no problem, I ran one for 5 years, was a 100 series head with floating cutter bar. Bean adv 30 to 45 bu an acre those years. Bandit
