I watched the CR970 at the Husker Harvest Day and it was not as impressive as I thought "it should be" for such a supposed radical_advanced change in design for performance. NH says the CR970 is the only class eight combine on the market, hasn't the Cat lexion 480 been out since '97IJ It's a class eight, with 431hp! I would have expected a class eight combine (with 370hp) to have at least broken the 4mph barrier during the show, no matter the field conditions (ground or crop) - they have to to be able to justify added costs for technology. The Cat 470R (a class 7) was going atleast 4mph maybe more at times and had the least, if not equal, amount of loss and grain damage.
