We're renting a 986 IH from a company just down the road about a 1/4 mile. We use it every so often, like when we want to fill a bag.
This is a few years ago when the clutch went out on the 1855. We put that on the bagger and ran the chopper with the 986 and kept on going. It was the 1st year we filled a bag, and we covered 30 acres of corn and 40 acres of hay in 3 days. We had everything lined up and ready to go. HAd to wait 2 days for the bagger because the farmer before us was having troubles and had it 2 extra days.
Even had to fix one of the gathering chains that broke (on a Saturday, after the dealers closed) We stole a different style chain from an old head we had from our other Fox chopper and finished the corn that way. I think I swapped between the hay and corn head 5 or 6 times that weekend too.
