Answer

Answer

Cornhead generally is non chopping

9770 is great with a 12 row.  The only time you would be short of power in corn is if it is quite wet or going up steep hills

I run a late model 9760 and am pleased with it with a 12 row Drago non chopping head

My opinion

Answer

Ran 9770 on 12 row head for years.  Non chopping. Cuts lots of high moisture.  Had plenty of power. If plowing mud might run short of power dumping on go.  Are s 670 good machine.  But 9770 are great.

Answer

yes

Answer

A 12 row corn head will work great on a 9770. That size of machine would play around with a 8 row.

Answer

I run a 9760 for corn and I upgraded from a 9650 to an S670 for beans but either machine will go both ways, as I was searching last fall for a replacement for the 9650, I looked at a lot of 9770s.  Let me share a couple things I learned.  Don’t buy one older than a 2010.  There were some engine issues before 10, I know many guys will say not, but my neighbor bought one and then spent 30k for new engine.  Several Deere Machanics told me the same thing.  Also check your lift cylinders, must be the heavy duty ones to lift that 12 row, also your drive belt that runs that gear box on the left side needs to be the heavy duty one or you might have troubles.  The 9770 is a great machine but I bought  my S670 for just about the same money and the difference in the cab is just amazing, if you go that way, have a dealer run a service records check to make sure all the updates are completed.  This was a big decision for me and a lot of money so I was very cautious as you are trying to be.  Good luck, text me if you want to talk more.
