North Western Alberta | I freakin LOVE my 8820. That truly is one of the best combines ever made. Its tough, and it runs a decent amount of crop through it. The issue with the 8820 is that it has more horsepower than separating area. You can blow a bit of crop of the back if you go too fast. It will eat up a pile of crop. I bought a 230 straight cut header for cereals, and a 920 flex header for peas, and then the 214 pickup that it comes with, for canola or swathed crops. Id buy another in a second. I will probably buy a 9600 next, and keep the ole 8820 for a spare. Not sure when that will ever happen, but that would b e the way Id do it. Storage is my biggest issue right now, so I will try to get a couple 10,000 bu Darmani bins this summer, with aereation. I am putting grain on the ground right now, due to lack of storage. I use those temporary ground bins for about 10 to 15,ooo bu
To the guy from Minnesota, yeah, thats basically where I live. Its very pretty here, but we take it for granted, cause we live here. But, typically, when I post pics of things, people say its really pretty here. We love it here, but I wish my growing season had a bit more safety margin. ALot of guys here run bigger combines, just due to TIME. | |
