[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 637917, member: 2862"] Depends on what you're talking about Jeff. The windrowers are completely different, with Hesston using a completely different body and frame. Moot point, since you can't buy a Hesston windrower anymore. Actually, Hesston haying equipment has ceased to be a "brand" available in Canada (actually, I believe its went North America wide now). They are now available as Massey by Hesston, Agco by Hesston, or Cat Challenger. As far as mower conditioners and balers, your statement is not true. They are EXACTLY the same machine. I'm a parts man at a Massey dealership, and the Hesston and Massey part numbers for ALL of them are exactly the same, every last bearing, every last chunk of sheet metal. The Cat guys tried pulling the same BS to sell more Challenger stuff, until I pulled up part numbers and they were exactly the same. Heck, every now and again we end up with the occasional part coming in thats Cat yellow. I see the occasional NH guy trying to convince others that the Case equipment is built to a lower standard. Again, absolutely not true. Case/NH balers are completely identical, right down to the part numbers used. That can be verified online through the CNH parts website. The only difference is that Case balers aren't available with the low end monitor, or the smaller tires. That, and they're substantially less expensive. Rod [/QUOTE]
