My 95 has the late intermediate/quik tach feeder house. The 443 cornhead fits. The 16' grain platform has the ols curved face feederhouse. I would like to 'convert' the grain head to fit the newer flatfaced feeder house.Been looking,and have done a bit of measureing.I'm pretty sure it will work. Anyone ever done that?Be nice to swap heads the 'easy way'.LOL Steve

I collect old farm magazines and have some Prairie Farmers from the 1960's and there was a company that made adapters to use the old style grain platform with the new style feederhouse.

DeltaRed, those old Quik-Tatch platforms are super cheap and will fit right on your 95. You may be cheaper and much happier with one that will fit without modification.

If you are going to do beans, find a platform with a flex cutterbar. It makes a big difference.

We are not a soybean growing area,so there isnt a 'flex head' anywhere close,they are all 'back east'. The last quick tach header I saw sell was $2000.They use em for 'dummy' heads for pinto beans.

I suppose you could just swap the feederhouse to the older style everytime you want to cut beans if you can find the old style feederhouse somewhere.

I understand. You plant on ridges for irrigation, don't you???

Too bad you aren't closer....have a 100 series head not being used. E SD is too far away.

DeltaRed · Oct 19, 2016

Yes,we plant on 'beds'/ridges for furrow irrigation.

Delta, just thinking outside the box here... you plant your beans on ridges in rows... you "need" a Deere row crop head on that 95! I knew a ridge till guy around here that ran a 6600 with a 653 on it. He claimed he could run in 3rd gear with the thing.

I've heard of the being used on the 05 series.
