It sounds like your problem is with the head not the combine, after you get a few acres in it and it gets shined up and it still does it, i would adjust stripper plates and auger height on the head, I don't know exactly what they should be by the book (Im thinking it is like 1/8") but I like the auger and stripper bars to be as close as possible without touching, if there is much of a gap it will allow the auger to bring the crop around with it. For the cutting issue-- make sure your sickle hold downs are keeping the sections against the guards but if straw is piling up there from you feeding problems or just a lack of material to push it off of the sickle then your only option is really trying to get the reel to push it in or you have to stop,lift way up, backup fast and try to "throw" the material back off the cutting platform into the auger. Basically your thin stand isnt strong enough to push the material that is on the sickle back and it just bends over instead of going between the guards and getting cut. Also those 930 heads (we had 930F) had alot of trouble on the ends of bunching up then pulling that wad in causing some slug feeding that would make it throw it over the auger by the feeederhouse. so keep an eye on that too. Good luck.
