Subject: RE: Gleaner hugger 3000 stripper plates?


Iowa
Several years ago, we took stripper plates from a Cat(Capello) head and we cut approximately 1 1/2" wide and the length of the stripper plate to match the length of the Hugger stripper plate. Then we removed the same dimension from the Hugger stripper plate and welded the Cat stripper plate beveled edge to the Hugger. Did this to compare between the two styles. Seemed to work fine with no issues. Also, price of a Hugger stripper plate was excessive, as I remember the Cat plates were around $60ea and the Hugger plate $130ea. If you do the job yourself you would save a lot on labor, as that is what it will take to disassemble each row unit down to the stripper plates to modify.
