Going to order all the materials I need to bring the IH 863 corn head back up to speed. A good solid head but some of the parts are tired. One of the things it needs is a poly kit in the auger trough/bed. I have looked at three, based on advice from forum members. Most expensive is May Wes at $394 and it is listed as being made of 1/8" poly. Next is Polytech and the only info available is the price...$283. Not much detail. Last is Sloan and they list at $270 making them the lowest priced and also the poly is twice as heavy at 1/4". I honestly don't know if heavier is better but it seems like it should be. None of the kits tell me if these are cut to fit exactly or if there is some trimming to be done or???
Need to order tomorrow as the weather is going down hill fast and this is an outdoor job. Looking for opinions on what would be the best product to buy. I'm thinking Sloan based on the material but would appreciate the comments of those with more experience.
