Do the hugger head units take more power to run than the old A series like the A630 or A330. Have a 4row hugger that the barn got when it fell. like to build a 3row 30 to fit my K2

Big210 I have oftened wondered the same. I would think that IG or DrAllis would know for sure. Im inclined to think no, but have never had an experience with the newer hugger units. I always figured that the newer hugger row units were nearly the same build as the older A series heads except for a lower position? Perhaps they only got a lower profile mounting design matched up to a similar frame? At any rate, I would be interested in seeing your project as it develops. I have a K2 equipped with an A330. With its ear savers removed, it does a great job of getting under downed corn. I think some poly snouts & a corn real would make it unstoppable. The stalks piling up on the cross auger can be a problem.
