| We have a 9610 that only chops and spreads soybean residue about 20' of the 30' head. What can we do to make it spread wider? We have adjusted the deflectors to wider at the back, but it does not help. |

North East Iowa | Put in a TSR chopper rotor and JD wide spread kit. It will throw 30' easy.

| I put a Redekopp MAV rotor in mine and am happy with it after two years. Spreads 30ft easy with the JD widespread fin kit which I see in the pic's you have also done Tony. |

Ethridge, TN | Depends on just how much money you want to spend. I started with the 9600's putting on the wide spread kit(tailboard/fins) from Deere, and have never had a problem being able to spread the full width of a 30' head. The only thing that effects it is just how much cross wind you have. You do have to keep the chopper hammers in good condition, as once they really start to show rounded corners on the leading edge, you have to either change them or flip them over. |

| Tony,
How is the TSR different to your original John Deere chopper? The last guy posting from Ohio said by adding the extended tailboard fins (that you also added) he was able to spread 30'. |

Southwest Indiana | Just a thought, make sure you have the chopper on the high speed pulley. Be sure to put back on low speed for corn or you will destroy the bottom pan on the chopper. |

sw corner Ia | I have one and the original small rear fins, and it will spread 25' in the narrowest setting. Great chopper. Get the carbide blades, they wear extremely well. |

West Tennessee | I had the exact problem you are having with a 9610 and 930f. I put my chopper knives in about 1/2 way (I was running with them all the way out) and lowered the tailboard just a little from level where I had been running it. I got mine out to about 25 ft this way and I've settled for that. I wasn't willing to spend the money on the high dollar choppers, and I figured they'd be expensive to work on, get parts for etc. I've got enough issues like that with my air reel, which I do like. I think the bigger fins might get me to 30ft and that's on the agenda to try next year. Good luck and post back at some point and let us know what you wind up doing and how it works out. |

North East Iowa | Actually just adding the JD wide spread kit will get you to 30'. I think it was under $300. We wanted to cut the straw up finer so thats why we went to the TSR chopper, it has 2 knives that cut on each side of the stationary knife instead of a hammer. Worked well this year and couldn't notice that it took anymore power to run. The TSR chopper rotor was about $1950.

Breckinridge County, Kentucky | that is a really nice combine, do you have any pictures of it in action?

North East Iowa | I don't really have to many action pics. because I'm usually in the seat but here are a few others of the ol' girl. The 1 picture is what the knives look like after 1 season of soybeans. We don't do any corn with this machine so the knives won't get beat up as fast on cobs.................When you say "nothing runs like a deere" it reminds me of this guy in the bottom pic. I know it isn't a deer but, if it wasn't on the other side of that fence I would be running like a deer. Heh Heh! Thanks Justin whats going on in Kentucky this time of year?

Ethridge, TN | I'm not sure that just putting the deeper fins on your current tail board will get you what you really want. Never tried it tho, so maybe it would work.
The wide spread kit is more than just the deep fins. The tail board is actually raised up, as you replace the spacing piece on the back of the chopper, plus there is an extension that makes the bottom pan longer, to make sure the material is actually directed into the fins. |

Alma NE | that combine looks well taken care of
and them elk look like the little elk farm in central city nebraska |

sw corner Ia | here is what my redekop carbide treated blades look like after a season of corn and beans.
about 250 hrs use, slow speed on corn. Redekop supplied a drive pulley that actually speeds the thing up over the stock, don't know how much, but it now howls.
Tony, does the dust diverter on your feeder house work ok?
Your machine looks awfully sharp.

North East Iowa | The dust sucker works very well especially at night. I use to go thru a lot of reel teeth from pushing dirt and not knowing it until the reel stopped, but now I can see the cutterbar at night. Thanks |

|
sw corner Ia | good enough for me. so where do I get one? thanks, tony. |

southern Illinois | Dave, i had the same problem this year with a 9650w i bought, it wouldnt spread over 20 ft no matter what i adjusted. read a jd bulletin about header flighting being the biggest problem with chopper spreading on the walker models. so my 925 header does not have removeable auger flighting so out came the grinder with cutting wheel and off came 4 inches on each side. that made a big differance but still had 8 inches on each side wider than the feederhouse entrance which measures 57 inches on mine. so of came another 6 inches from each side of the auger. and i had to narrow the spreading fins on the back of the combine to keep from throwing into standing crop. worked for me and didnt cost a dime to fix right.

North East Iowa | We got it used from a JD Dealer. I'll take a look tomorrow and see who made it. This model has a electric motor and the neighbor has 1 that is hyd. driven both work well. |

Breckinridge County, Kentucky | not to much of anything really around here, won't stay dry enough to get in the fields. Have one more 50-60acre field of corn left and can't get to it with the case ih 2344. Been the wettest year my papaw has ever seen. We have never been short on rain. Lots of tobacca crop lost and lots of bean fields under water. Muddy'd up all the fields we've been in. Only been stuck 3-4times this year on the combine i believe lol. hasn't been a time this fall to get a truck in the field without the help of a 4wd tractor! hows everything where your at?
take it easy

North East Iowa | Don't you think your feeding to much material onto the outside edges of the cylinder then Harlan and not enough into the middle? NOT trying to start anything just asking you said your using a 25' head maybe the flighting is different from a 30'. When ever I look at my rasp bars they are always shot on the outside edges. Thinking about taking a few outside fingers off of auger to try and push more material to center of cylinder. I'm not worried about spreading the straw with my set up, can already get it out there 30' no problem. A good even feed across the cylinder is priority. |
|

|
North East Iowa | Had some of the white stuff the other day. Didn't stick around long thou. We have a couple days of corn left and lots of fall tillage that we would like to get done. See what happens..........Grundy County, Iowa.........Good luck Justin |

southern Illinois | Well i wasnt feeding any to the out side the way it was, they told me to watch the machine from the back and see how much trash was coming out the outside fins and i did this and there was hardly none. changeing the auger the way i wos told to helped that and now when behind the machine it looks to be very even all the way across the chopper. i think i wasnt using the outside of the cylinder bars at all. just usedthe machine one season so cant tell about ware on the bars yet. Ill watch that. all i know it that it works good now. I have only used combine in beans and corn, havent cut wheat yet.
thanks

southern Illinois | my auger flighting is 53 inches apart now
was around 40 inches when i started, if you think about it the next time your by your 30 footer, i d be interested to know what it is. thanks |

|
North East Iowa | I'll check it out Harlan, its got me curious to. Maybe there is something different with the feederhouse opening between a 9600 and a 9650 too? |
|
| |
|
North East Iowa | The flighting on my 930 which hasn't been touched as far as I know is roughly 49". And the opening on the 9600 feederhouse is 56". So I guess your end result is pretty close to where I'm at now. I think I'll just leave the fingers alone ( all in ). Thanks for the good talk Harlan. |
