Subject: 21xx residue spread?


Dills, FL		My new to me 2144 has factory straw chopper and straw and chaff spreader with 3 curved steel paddles on each spinner. I am looking for advice for soybean setup to spread 25 ft. would 6 paddles work better? chopper 'knife' up or down position? just wanted others experience BEFORE I head to field. thanks.

SC Iowa		Chopper- depends on the beans and how well it's chopping. For a wider spread you can put on the two speed spreader kit or just buy the smaller spreader pulley from the newer combines but I think it will spread 25' as is.

Your spreaders have already been upgraded from the paddles. I did this on a 2388 and threw residue into standing beans on a 25ft head.

Idaho		Our 2188 wasn't throwing to one side very well we replaced the curved steel paddles and solved the problem should done the other side we thought they still pretty good until the new ones were beside them, but that's cutting wheat I don't know anything about beans.

M		theres a fin on newer combines on the inside above the spreaders that you can adjust to get more or less on a spreader. works great

Oswald No-Till Farm Cleghorn, IA		I have a 2166 with 25' head. You only want/need 6 curved paddles. I have the two speed spreader kit but you can throw material clear the standing beans on high speed so I don't change it anymore.

Rotor speed x crop conditions can also impact how evenly residue is spread (whether more comes off one side or not).

NEIA		Here's what I do on my 2366 with a 25 ft head. 1st if you have it. Put the belt on the high speed pulley. 2nd put the curved paddles in the back hole. This is on a spreader with 3 per side. Chopper blades fully engaged. Have the bottom pan where the stationary blades are raised up. Have to loosen the 2 bolts on each side and use a long bar and punch. I think I am the only one in the country that does this as every machine I have seen the bolts still have original paint on them. Doing all these is why I do not like going from beans to corn and back. But it works great this way. Perfect spread pattern.

Subject: A post from the past....on CIH straw spreading.


NW Washington		I saved this post on this page that was posted years ago by SDMan who does not post here anymore or at least not by that name. I think the CIH big boys got on his case for some of what he was posting. But anyway here is his advise on CIH combines and improving their straw spreading which I think still applies. Thanks Jim.

"CIH Straw spreader performance improvements from SDman.
Just thought I would share some tips to help maximize performance with factory chaff spreader attachments. We have several 36' MacDon heads out here & have a lot of no-till so even spreading of residue is a must. With just a few mods., and not a lot of money, you can make a stock Axial-Flow the best at spreading residue evenly. Here are 5 major points for proper setup. 1) Be sure you have the straw deflector in the discharge hood for even distribution to the spreaders. This deflector was added at 1997 production & can be installed in older machines & is adjustable. 2) Trim back about the last foot or so of the curtain on each side of the spreaders about were the curtain makes the first 30 degree turn. You might want to cut the curtain off and keep it in your shed so you can install them for row-crop harvest so cobs are not thrown towards the rear of the combine. 3) Install the fast speed spreader pulley (part#1994772C1, also requires spacer #27828R1), this increases spreader speed from 227 to 346 RPMs. 4) Set the spreader bats to aggressive position(this is shown in operator's manual but I see very few of them set this way) you might want to mark the spreaders Right or Left so you do not get them mixed up when you remove them. 5) Case also came out with taller spreader bats that are taller than the factory ones. They recommend 3 of these bats on each spinner so that they alternate on the disc and that they alternate from each disc(short bat on LH spinner lines up with tall one on RH spinner, and vice-verse). The part #s for these are 321372A1 for LH on 88 series, 321373A1 for RH on 88 series; 323745A1 for LH on 44/66 series, & 323746A1 for RH on 44/66 series. These help spread tougher material such as green stem soybeans & help eliminate the "strip down the middle" that customers have complained about. With these simple mods, you will find these machines can spread evenly in most conditions. "

As mentioned, the steel curved paddles are an up grade over the rubber paddles that originally came on your combine. When the steel paddles first came out we replaced the rubber bats on a 2366 with the steel. Ran a 25' 1020 & it was no probem to spread across the entire width of the head. The steel came on he 2388 we trade the 66 for & they would throw straw into standing beans running a 30' 1020. There's a series of bolt holes that will allow you to change the pitch of the paddles increasing or decreasing width ofspread as desired.
