Go with a Deere 3940 or 3960. Parts are very plentiful both new used and aftermarket. The 3950-3970 is almost identical and the heads you now have will work on them as well. The Deere harvester is very well built and can easily be rebuilt. No other harvester will pull as easily as the Deere.I have had a 38,two 35's,3940 and a 3960. I just sold a 3960 with a seven ft hay head and brand new Deere knives for $3500 and it was field ready. We use a 3940 to chop our hay and use a 244 combine head to make snaplage as well.There is a big difference in capacity between the 35 and the 3940. We run ours with a 4520 that is putting out 170hp(We do not run it full capacity).I still have a 35 and we chop a few loads every year with it and the 4020.I would not buy a Gehl as I feel they are poorly built. Neighbor has a 865 Gehl he bought new and he likes my 3940 better. I think the NH machines have to many moving parts compared to how simple the Deere is.But I will say the 790 NH is a good machine and if you have a big tractor the latter 900's were good as well.Tom

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
