You speak the truth. There are things I can do to make my 8820 more dust free, and it is not bad in corn and soybeans, but milo dust is very disagreeable to me, and I am quite sure no matter what you do to the 8820 it will never be as nice as a 9500 in that area. I don't think the noise level is bad at all in my 8820, and I really enjoy running it. You can tell it is a machine working, feel it working, it has an almost pleasant sound as far as I am concerned. I believe I should be able to trade for $25000, but I bet when the salesman comes next week to look at my 8820 he will say something like, well, yours doesn't have this, or doesn't have that, it would be real hard for us to sell it, have to have $32000 difference. If he tries to pull that BS, I won't even bother to negotiate with him. It always disturbs me when they can have almost the same machine sitting on their lot and will ask probably double what they give you for it. I know they have to make a profit, but some things do not make sense to me.
