      They use a UII, The header is different than a combine header but I don't think it is any lighter. It doesn't have an adapter, all the hydraulics are on the swather. It cuts better than our combine header as well. The tractor unit is a lot more substantial to carry the weight of the header(longer for better balance).

        I personally would take a U2 first. I think the MacDon is OK but on our 974 header, the reel needs all new bushings and our U2s have been trouble free. I also like how the U2 is somewhat more like a bat than a rod with fingers on it.

          A friend of mine has a recent model CIH WD 36' and he's had problems with the connector tube on his UII split reel breaking quite often. Is this a common problem with UII split reels?
