We just started chopping our corn today. Still don't have the engine back for our 1855, so we rented the 986 from down the road again. Got the chopper ready over Thurs. and Friday, and today hooked onto it with the 986 and chopped off about 7 loads.
Had to quit when the wagon hitch on the chopper snapped off while trying to narrow the chopper up 1 hole after splitting the feild. It's got a farmerized hitch coming off the axel in line with the toungue to the tractor for when it would be extremely muddy so the chopper wouldn't pull sideways.
I'll pull the hitch assembly off tomorrow morning, then continue chopping useing the other hitch until we get some new steel to fix it.
Overall, I'd have to say that the corn is pileing up much beter than I thought it would. Had a drought here during the summer and it was doing pretty poor. Got rain all theoughout August and it must have come just in time to perk it up, even though it was just tassled out. Had some that was over the top of the cab, which was very unexpected. Some corn on the other side of the same feild was only about 5' tall.
