Any red "zero" series 1460, 1480 is a nightmare in tough soybeans. Plug 'er up and you'll spend most of a day getting it back up again. Later models are better in "greener" tougher crop conditions but they're priced higher too. The 8820 is a tough all-around combine, dry crops, greenish crops, beans, corn, you name it. If you switch to red, at least skip the earlier ones or you'll wish you had your 8820 back.
