Been running a JD 6620 and a JD 4420. Sometimes both at the same time - one corn and one beans. Both are later models with low to average hours. Looking to go from a JD 443 to either a 643 or 843 to speed corn harvest.
Questions -
How does a JD 7720 compare to a JD 9400 in capacity?
Can you put a JD 443 corn head on a JD 9400? a JD 7720(Don't think so).
If I found a late model low hour JD 7720 would it be about as good as a JD 9400 considering all of the electrical problems that could go wrong on the JD 9400?
How is JD 7720 with an 8 row corn head going to do in hills - many contours and terraces? Would a 6 row corn head be better?
Seems to be many more JD 7720's that were maintained better than JD 6620's at the moment. Wouldn't be opposed to a 9400 or 9500 either.
Part of my problem is that I have a very nice Kinze 8 row corn planter I would like to continue to use. Seems to me I need to either stay with the four row corn head or go to eight. I can't plant that perfect to harvest across the field when the planter and head don't match up. I could turn my 8 row planter into a 6 row, but I like the increased width of 8 rows in the spring. I guess an 8 row on a Deere 7720, 9400, or 9500 would be an option. Thanks for you options.
