Hi, used to run our IH 15 chopper with 300U, then B414D in 2nd gear in corn but if you have hills the B414 is to light to pull wagon behind. Need 656, 674, 684 for HP and weight. Later we traded 15 for 16 and 16 required less HP as it had 9 knives to do the chopping as the 15 only had 6.

P.S. we had one of the very first IH 15 harvesters and I don't think IH made any $$ from
our machine. Chop corn for day, repair for a day.
IH made several design changes and eventually it was a good machine. My Dad chopped about 3 gathering chains, one cutter head knife broke and went through the drum. I could dismantel and assemble this machine in my sleep almost 50 years later.

I hope your 15 was one of the later ones not the design in progress model.

My rant for the evening.
JB
