Howdy RV,
Brought my AC 782 right off the field with an IH pulling it. Lot of horse up front but this chopper with 2 row corn head and 3 foot wide knives, with right along no problem.

We have a few of them around. We quit using it for ourselves a few years ago, but kept chopping for the neighbor. But this year is going to be the last as the neighbor is quitting milking.
