Case Int'l/Hesston 1120 For Windrowing Oats

I have two possible mo-co's for windrowing oats. Posted below is my question about the John Deere 1219. I also have a Case Int'l 8330/Hesston 1110-1120. Would this be as good as,
or better to use than the Deere? Do I need to adjust the roller spacing AND the roller pressure? kelly
 
I think any of them with rolls will be a detriment to success with mowing and having anything to pick up for oats as a grain. If you mow them early enough to not lose a lot of them, you will probably not get much for oats either. I think this is one of those times where you will be better served with hiring it done for one year or buying a swather to do it. Newer swathers would also probably be able to leave a windrow to fit the newer combines better without so many trips across the field with the combine. You will want to pick them up but first in the windrow I would think.
 
I agree, you're probably not going to be happy with the results. The best thing to use would be a swather with a draper head. Anything else and you'll shell out a lot into the ground. We used a 1014+2 hydroswingto do it a few times. We could drop the crimping rolls completely which helped, but it had an auger behind the reel that still did a bunch of damage.
