Looking at a L2 with a spike cylinder in it and with a rasp cylinder also. Has big diesel. Currently running an F. Big jump?

Takes a lot to keep them full. What usage? Corn, beans, small grain?

I just sold my LII last year. Had it for 22years. Very good machine. Mine had the big engine and the short shoe.
Before I had a massey 510 with 20ft head. Had to mark the tire to tell it was moving. Took at least seven days to cut 200 acres of wheat. The gleaner with 24ft head took three to four days.

Soys, dry beans, grain,corn. He uses the spike in wheat and soys. There hasn't been corn run through it in over 15 yrs.

I went from F3 to M3. Nicest part is bigger grain tank!

Nice big jump.

I have done all three crops with the rasp in my M3, no need to change cylinders. Having said that, the spike will do a nicer job in edible beans rather than soys. You will notice a greater amt. of fuel used per acre(heavier machine plus hydrostatic I'm guessing) but the capacity increase plus larger bin size will be a godsend in a tough season. Went from an F2 to an M3

What is it worth with a 15' FCB? He ran it last yr on 160 acres of soys.
