Your right about the three grease zerks, what a pain in the rear! I just waited and greased after dinner when it warmed up. I thought they didn't take to much power, I had a 8 row on a 9500 and now a 12 row on a 7010.  Your right about the down corn also, after the 100mph winds we had last summer it didn't do a nice job, but neither did the lawnmower blades.

 I think they all have their faults, I don't know what will be my next one.  Is there alot of maintanace on the others?  Maybe the guys are right, after not really chopping the stalks last fall, I still have beans growing in the trash this year.  But, the stalks pretty much rotted away throughout the summer so there wasn't much left in the fall.
