northeastern Ohio | The 9560 does have more capacity than the walker. But we have had several problems with our 9560, so it makes it hard to recommend. Ours was a first year machine, so they SHOULD have the bugs worked out by now. Power steering pump was bad when it came from the factory (constantly had to turn the steering wheel to the left). The feederhouse drum bearings went out at 25 hours, 40 hours, and 75 hours. They redesigned it and now it has been trouble-free since then. The plastic rear panel (the one made of corn plastic) cracked at 50 hours where the turn signal light attaches. Hydraulic pump that lifts the head failed at 100 hours. Rotor belt broke at 200 hours ($445 belt). Hydro is weak on hills due to fact that when fully loaded this machine weighs about 4 ton more than our 9500, but still has the same drives as the 9500 (I think the new ones have the HD drives from the bigger combines but I would check it out first before buying). The air outlets on the rear sides plug up after just a few acres ( I think the new ones have some sort of "agitator" to keep them cleaned out).
There are some nice features that I really appreciate: All adjustments can be made from the cab. Greenstar yield monitor is very accurate. Ect...
As I said above, I think they have fixed most of the main issues with the new ones. I just hate being the guinee pig.... | |
