717 or Super 717? If it is a 717, you'd better stick with 75 hp or less. I had a Super 717 and they are built heavier than the 717. I used a 1650 on a 2 row head and it worked pretty good.

In days gone by we chopped many, many acres of corn with an 88, and then a Super 88 with a two row head on a NH 800 chopper pulling the wagons on the side with another tractor.
