Well, I had it on my farm last fall...ha ha. I did sign a NDA so that's about all I will say without further permission other than it had some nice design changes and worked pretty well. I suppose if/when they decide to release it then I will be able to say more.

Let's start with you putting up your location. Can't buy it anyway, so sit tight and if it comes to market I'm sure I'll be able to fill everyone in on the details. 8-)

I'll tell you what, this will be the first place I will go once I have permission. Here is one of the fields we cut with it, pretty good test for a header!

Man I'd love to see a draper header that could cut that and make a decent swath.

SWMan is yanking your chains.............. there’s no way Macdon would put a test product on a crappy Lexion.......... it would only be on the mighty new huge massive monster X9....!! I can’t find the shit stirring Emoji’s option..........doh

How did the 10.9 perform compared to yours in that canola? I don't want to go too hard on the 10.9 because I wasn't running it or setting it, although I did get settings from the product specialist... When the snowstorm was coming last fall we did some pan testing to see how hard we could push things, all I will say is the 10.9 was left at a 4mph speed limit and I dialed up the 780tt to a whole new level. 10.9 also had some rotor plugs, one of which ended the day and took hours the next morning to clear. And it had tires so was stuck several times even though I did all the wettest areas with the 780tt. Other than that I think it was fine, sure was grateful for having it on a year with a very small harvest window!

What size of header on the 10.9? They were both 40', well the Claas head on the 780tt was a 12.3 meter which is a hair over 40'. I talked to Macdon, this is the only thing I can show you at this point...
