| I have been driving home on the same road for the last 11 years past a farmer that "normally" runs a straight 6600 JD machine, but this summer (wheat harvest time) a newer 6600 with a yellow topped cab and a black radiator rotating screen(still a manual fold unloading auger)showed up. This farm also does beans and corn, but the corn head is still on the "old" machine; they are kept outside :-( .My question is, is a green 6600 series closer to an F2 or M2? Thanks |

| Bigger than a F2. Almost same as a M2. |

| In my experience a M2 will out perform a 6600. Had a neighbor hauling corn one fall for me and he said that he didn’t want any part of trying to keep up with my M2 with a 6 row thirty corn head in 125 bushel plus corn. |

So when it comes down to it a 6600 is More Like a straight M, A 6620 deere seems like they increased capacity? They seem even with a M2. Don't see a M2 running with a 7720 L2/3 seems in between 7720 and 8820? I've always figured k = 3300 deere/ or 300/410 massey. F series = 4400/4420 or 540/550 massey. m series = 6600/6620 and L series = 7700/7720

| You'd be right, except L2/L3 pretty much the same as 7720's. 8820 was closer to N-6 but not really. |

Always like hearing how the older machines stack up. I'm of course a gleaner man, The old deeres keep running too but been around them a few short times to see what a pain they could be to work on. Doc, Do you think gleaner was ever trying to have the l2s compete with a 8820? Or they were more focused on putting out a big rotary?

| An L-2-3 was never offered with a 12-row corn head. An 8820 was. Gleaner had an experimental "Larger than an L" designed and built, but felt cost-wise the N-6/N-series was the way to go. |

Depending on crop I think an L2/3 is about equal to a 7720. Equal in most crops and from what I've read an L2/3 is up to 20% more capacity in certain small grains. I think my L2 with wide spaced cylinder bars was a beast in 200 bu corn and 6 x 30 head. Without having driven a 7720 I think a 7720 would have a load keeping up. I usually went 4.5 mph in 200 bushel 18% corn on fairly flat ground. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

Depends on the crop and the conditions. I have operated both MH 2's and JD 6622 in the same field.  Makes no difference to most of you but a JD 6622 will hang on a hillside better and climb up a hill better. In barley and oats the 6622 also eats more straw. You start pushing them chaffer settings are very critical on all of them along with adjusting the air flow.I would rather drive a MH2 as anything else,and feel it was easier to get adjusted. But the better operator that can sense things with the machine can get more out of ether and make it better than the other with average operator. Sadly AGCO has no support without driving 100 miles and there is still a Deere dealer here. But would expect in some conditions on a given day one may look much better than the other.
