    I think we died and went to heaven

    Cutting 58 bu yellow peas that are 5 inches high thanks to the rain.... 3 to 4 mph not a pod nor a seed behind thr combine.


    I've helped out a friend who had a mac don fd70 in front of a Lexion 595 and this thing cuts cleaner and feeds smoother!!

          8200 a true flex header and when used with auto header height control and auto tilt is pretty darn good, just floats along, ground was "wet" under the canopy and pushed no mud. It is kinda noisy being an auger table. Schumacher sickles and guards....never replaced fewer sickles or guards since we started using this thing versus swathing we used to do.

              We used one last yr on demo... not the greatest in our rock country.
              5100 isn't a "TRUE" flex but ìt follows the ground well and feeds great... we have the auger option on it


              would like to try the Dynaflex. . New agco flex d****r but sticker shock on the price ouch.

                . All I run is 635 hydra flexes. Work great in the south when you have dry crop.. Not so great if it's a little tough at the bottom as the stubby guards tend to want to push sooner than a Schumacher. Might put Schumacher knife on a couple next year. Simple tho and will absolutely shave the ground In Peas and lentils if set and run properly. Work great for semi dwarf durum I grow but suck in taller varieties. fNever take them off to move just hog the road and go. Forever being harassed to go flex d****r but don't see the need. Glad to hear things are working well for you Klaustopher
