Yes billet in theory are best. I"ve heard of more billets shearing off at caps then welded breaking. Billets for big deeres are built to lightly in my opinion. I won"t mention names or companies but I have had pics sent to me bragging about how much lighter his rods are then others. Lighter and weaker. And the better built have had problems. When I"m done with most welded rods for the big deeres you wouldn"t even know they were welded. Very strong. As far as Jim not running welded rods that"s untrue. I know for a fact he has and they are still running. Like I said when done right and not scabbed together they hold. We have no billets in any of our tractors. Broke cranks, cams and more and never a rod.
