That's pretty good.

It doesn't take much to convince me that lower gearing has less speed but more power. It just seemed like actual field conditions and the ability to move material through the rotor quicker would have maybe played into this somewhat. If you feed the same amount of material in the front........but it takes longer to come out the back, doesn't that require more horsepower?

I realize that in corn you typically have more grain moving through your entire system........which includes the elevators and augers and such. Even the header itself surely robs more of the hp requirements of the engine. But as far as the rotor and concave area, do you think there's more work/load going on with corn than when harvesting soybeans, even at their respective speed requirements?
