If I had a couple of hundred acres to cut or less I would take a 5 series. If I had to cut 500 or more acres I would take a 00 series. Like others said, the 5 series are easier to work on and maintain but 00 series are more convenient to run IMO. Unless you have a 5 series from the last 2 years of production, they will have the chain drive cylinder and them stupid shims on the fan pulley. How many of the SB 5 series were diesel percentage wise compared to the 00 series. Same thing with hydros? Its a lot easier to find a 6600 or 770 hydro then a 105 or 95.   [Reply]  [No Email]

When JD came out with the xx00 series, they virtually took over the whole market here, and haven't looked back. I don't understand. The cab beside engine thing never appealed to me.   [Reply]  [No Email]

So I don't think the engine next to the cab was a big deal at that time. 20 years later different story. Plus the 00 series was the first really new combine seperator design since 1949. As good as the 5 series were, they were an old design that dated all the way back to the early 40s. JD did great work to stretch that design.   [Reply]  [No Email]

The early 4400 sure was not much of a replacement for a 95 in capacity either.   [Reply]  [No Email]
