X Header

[idle git]

John Deere X header on a T670 , good or not so good ?

haven't put this in machinery to try and thin out the key board warriors

We had a 622x on a 2015 T560 fairly pleased with it except for in short crops, where the step was to big between the fixed and moving part so the crop just sat there. The newer 7 series ones seemed a lot better in this regard.
I got a bit carried away when we replaced it before last harvest and put an RD30F on a T560 (both exdemo) and while it was a fair chunk of money, it's in another league performancewise.

Would there be a problem with linseed with this header or are you talking short strawed spring barley

 

[Wheatonrotty]

Probably, but never tried it, the only linseed I did with it was tall, laid and caused other problems! Short spring barley was a sod with it.
Short stuff just sits on the bridge between the 2 sections and you can't quite get the reel close enough to sweep it clear. The newer ones are flatter which helps, and having plastic fingers on the reel let's it be set to run tighter to the knife.

630X on our T670i. Very good, compared to a Premium Flow or fixed knife standard header. We cut osr, beans and cereals perfectly well with it. 3 seasons since new without any bother.

I haven't had much time on draper headers to compare.

We are running a 635X header on our S790 and i don't have anything good to say about it. Costs more to run than the combine. Can't get it to feed well in anything other than wheat
