SW Iowa | dzluvr - 10/6/2011 22:36 how come the guys just a few days ago were saying how GREAT their very expensive draper headers were in beans ????
Have you ever ran a draper head? Until you have used one on your machine, you really don't have any idea how good they are. My dad has harvested beans with many different heads over the course of 45+ years of farming. His response to the first day of picking beans with the draper head. "I have never had a bean head cut beans so well". They feed into the machine smoothly. However, I do want to fix this loss issue.
We have less then 1 bushel per acre outside the wheel tracks. It is an intersting concept about the tailings. The first two days we were running the tailings auger about 1/4-1/2 full. Don't know about yesterday, I was working cows. I'll ask today. We run a Lexion that dumps tailings above the APS right behind the feederhouse.
