Seneca Kansas 66538 | Rode around with a local guy for a couple hrs while he was harvesting wheat. S77 and 40 draper head. As I was riding with him I noticed the draper belts were wet so I asked him if he had a hydraulic leak somewhere as I pointed out the belts. He said no, thats the moisture hanging in the straw and it was like that all day yesterday as well. Never seen another combine running after I left that day. His wheat was 15-16 percent moisture and was running around 4.8 mph if I recall correctly. I just remember thinking how great that draper fed damp straw compared to how an auger head would feed. But then later after I left I started thinking wow, that thing was not only ingesting damp straw but was also doing it with 40 ft going 4+ mph. | |
