London, Ontario | This has me wondering if the engineer's at the gleaner factory have made an error.
For sure putting the feed chains in slow position should not in reality slow the feed chains if you have the variable speed for the corn head set as fast as it will go.
On our old R52 I have left the feed chains in high to stop the front feed chain from bringing corn cobs back over the top into the head.
This now makes me think that the rear feed may not be moving fast enough to take the corn away from the front feed chain.
I do have the hump removed between the chains.
In conclusion I would say if the front feed is sending cobs back to the header try speeding up the chains or find a pulley to speed up the rear feed chain. Don't forget the possibility that the rear feed chain belt could be slipping just enough to cause this also. Maybe all you really need is a properly tensioned new rear feed belt.
