Northwest Iowa
Putting a JD843 corn head on an R72 Gleaner. Does the sprocket ratio on the John Deere corn head need to be changed? Currently, I have reversed the sprockets that drive the corn head but it still seems like it runs awful fast. Do I need to slow it down more? Do I need to run the feeder speed on the combine on the slow or fast speed for corn? Do I leave the drum height blocks in the grain position for both corn and beans?
