Hi all, Wondering how guys find the deere buckets. We run horwood bagshaw laser buckets but was contemplating going to tandem 2112 to help with the bulking for our farming properties. How do they handle polishing work and what are the major problems with used machines. Do they need cushion hitches, was looking at going a 9560R JD with autoload. Thanks.
2112's are pretty tough pans and can take a lot of abuse, I wouldn't be afraid to buy a used one just be sure to check out the hitches and makes sure they were greased. As for autoload im really not a fan of it
Why is that? That is the main reason I'm looking at JD gear, trying to make the loading near idiot proof
Im pretty sure that you have to be in 6th gear or higher to be able to use the autoload and sometimes you just cant load in that high of a gear. And I always had a hard time getting it setup right. Its nice to have if you have a long cut and are pulling 2 or 3 pans but if your pulling 1 pan its pretty easy to see your cutting edge.
