Subject: RE: I'm not quite sure why eveyone seems to pooh-pooh the idea of running corn less than 2mph.....


NEIN
Actually the guy with the eight row will get more done in the same amount of time as the one with a smaller head because the one with the wider header will make less trips around the field making him much more efficient. Run the eight row, go slow and do a perfect job with fewer passes and less wear on the drive train. Combine capacity is always determined by its ability to thresh grain not the size of the header. For a 1660 that is somewhere around 1000 bushels of dry corn an hour. The only draw back would be grain tank size if he doesn't have a grain cart.
