Got a 708 with the Perkins diesel. Same engine as the Massey combines back then. It will be much more efficient if you have a power unit for each machine. It will take you half a day to change if you do the full maintenance while changing over. We used to chop hay then corn silage then high moisture ear corn then change over to shell corn. We used a 676 chopper for the hay and silage then an old 760 for the ear corn. A 727A I think it was for shelling. So we would blow out the radiator and wash it between changes. Grease the threads on the screw for the belts and the jacks so you could turn them easily. grease the swivels on the feet. Grease or adjust anything on that side since you can't reach it good after the attachment is on. Back in it's day it would out chop most choppers and really out run any pull chopper around. The knives want to just tick the ledger as you turn it by hand, after you sharpen them. If you do that it will chop with the most speed and least power/fuel. We ran one 4 years till the cows went away. We used to fill 7 8x150 bags a year. 3hay,3corn,1ear corn.

But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
