I have a 3940 deere chopper. Had it three years now, decent older chopper. works good, does what we need (For now). Before this, we had a deere 35 chopper. Bought newer chopper (old 35 was about toast). Using the head off the 35 (2 row wide) on the 3940.
That old yellow head is about toast. I replaced gathering chains/belts and sprockets (still good condition) 4 years ago.
Looking to get a 'newer' head. I see the green ones have newer style corn head snoots. Do these feed better? Our yellow head will jam up if cutting to low.
I have to buy a $300 dollar shaft to finish this year for our old head, thought Id keep it around as a backup, but aim to have a better head for next year.
We chop (3) 7'x150' bags a year. Looking to start making earlage in a year or two, have my eye on a self propelled deere unit that is setup for that already.
This chopper will likely stay on the farm as a backup, for the money i have in it, itd be cheap insurance.
what is the model of those green heads & are they worth the money (how much?) We are on wide rows

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.
