Thanks furrow. I think they either did or are dicontinuiing the 8200. Ours is finely tuned and ran well this year. Can you post a picture of the poly. Where did you get the stuff you used and is it wearing okay?

The poly strip is just a cover on the Knife gaurds Agco uses when shipping swather/combine headers from the Heston plant. Go to any Agco dealer - they throw them out as scrap. You have to look at them and use your imagination on how to cut them to fit , but they work sweet. Flat 2 in and the 45 about 1 in. We actualy just used self taping screws to install them rather than measure and drill to match existing holes where the metal stripper bar was.
I will take pics and send to Klause if he does not mind posting them. They are about 1/8 in black poly - very tough. I think you can only get about 10 ft strips out of them that are useful for what we did - we pieced it in sections. A full length would be better. The first header we did still has original poly on most of it - 5 years.
The 45 deg angle is the key to doing it - when bolted on, it matches perfect with the angle of the auger flighting pointed down - the pics will tell the tail for you.
Also no more wrapping in wheat - the angled poly keeps everything down under the back of flighting to feeder house.
