Pittsburg, Kansas | The two combines try to just pick a nice steady pace that will keep things flowing, usually not pushing the combines very hard. If we drop to one machine then the operator will push it. If we are in good corn we run 5 semis if we have the labor to do so. As long as we are not too far away from the bins everything flows pretty well. In good corn close to the bin where trucks can keep up and the labor to keep it all going we sometimes run a second cart then the combines can start showing off. We actually have a third combine (585) and 18 row (20") head but it is mostly a spare or used if we need to pick up an out of the way field when the two combines are far away. We just don't have the labor or trucks to run three.
In good corn where the trucks have to go a ways the two combines can bury the trucks. Kind of fun when it all "works". Keeping enough help and affording to keep them paid is the big bottleneck.
