I finally put a back-up-camera on my 750 after I plugged it the third time. Point it right down to where the material comes out the back of the machine and watch it like a hawk.

I had a 750 for a number of years. It pluged like your talking about. Someone told me to see if I had a curtain that hung down behind the walkers. I check and I didn't have one. The reasoning behind the curtain was to keep the chopper from throwing material back at the walkers and plugging them. I put the curtain in and no more problems. I also put a sensor above the walkers out of a John Deere combine that signaled if straw was building up on the walkers. It is a amazing how much material will jam in the back of the combine. Hope this helps.

Had a 750 and a 860 for a while. We broke final drives and rear axles more than once.---Tee

Yes, a combine can put a square baler to shame, absent the tying. BTDT.

I run combines made in the 1980s, have to expect a few issues.

My relatives run a 2011 combine, it broke a bearing on the straw chopper, and now broke a bracket and related parts on a shaker arm. He emailed me at 4:15 this morning, can't sleep because the combine been in the shop for a while day, and his brother had to drive 420 miles to pick up,parts for the dealer to fix it.

They only farm 2x as many acres as me, 2 people in just one, and when my combine breaks I get to be head parts runner and head mechanic too....

All depends on your personality I guess. Maybe I'm so busy trying to fix the darn thing I don't have time to worry about it....
