I have a 3940 deere chopper. Had it three years now, decent older chopper. works good, does what we need (For now). Before this, we had a deere 35 chopper. Bought newer chopper (old 35 was about toast). Using the head off the 35 (2 row wide) on the 3940.
That old yellow head is about toast. I replaced gathering chains/belts and sprockets (still good condition) 4 years ago.
Looking to get a 'newer' head. I see the green ones have newer style corn head snoots. Do these feed better? Our yellow head will jam up if cutting to low.
I have to buy a $300 dollar shaft to finish this year for our old head, thought Id keep it around as a backup, but aim to have a better head for next year.
We chop (3) 7'x150' bags a year. Looking to start making earlage in a year or two, have my eye on a self propelled deere unit that is setup for that already.
This chopper will likely stay on the farm as a backup, for the money i have in it, itd be cheap insurance.
what is the model of those green heads & are they worth the money (how much?) We are on wide rows

Well, when our family moved to our 20 acre site near New Prague, Minnesota, I had one thought in mind. You guessed it, farm it somehow. A little history is in order. In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens. In the winter, we'd play
