I'd keep up for the most part then... I was in 2nd over most of the day too. The stuff pictured was on the short side of the feild. I only had to drop to 2nd direct/under when I was in the heavy green stuff that was filled in later when some didn't come up, and that stuff got up to the canopy...
Our early planted corn just plain sucked. Imediataly after we got i tin, we got 2 weeks of cold/wet weather so it took 3 weeks for it to make it up, then we had bare spots like crazy. Our late planting looks great, but it still isn't quite dented yet and we'll probably get frost in the next week or 2. Those I may have to keep it in 2nd under. 105 HP aint bad either- definately a step up from our 1755 on the front...
There are some times I have to drop it to 1st if the corn is over the top of our Gehl wagon, but that ain't gonna happen this year... Our neighbors always chop with a 2-135 on the front of a older gehl in rough shape, and while they can go faster the quality just isn't the same as what we can get with the old Fox. We bought fomr them a few years ago and we (mainly I) drove them crazy because I wanted the husks to be cut finer, but they already had the knives adjusted and a screen in.... We havn't used a screen yet in the 4-5 years we've run the 3000! Now they're 135 is sitting without an engine, so they'll hafta use they're 2-100 - Pretty sure I could lap that thing...
