Lorenzo, tx | Ive got a 9600 with a 930r header. I went to cut a small patch of wheat a few days ago and had a lot of trouble with it feeding into the feeder house. Its almost like it cant get it all under the auger so it starts coming over the top and well that makes a mess. A few times I noticed dirt piled up under the auger right in front of the feeder house. Even when I cleaned it out it didn't really feed any better. I assume this dirt is from me bumping the ground with the header. Ive been very careful as Ive only run a combine a half dozen times and am still learning. Its very different from a cotton stripper LOL I dont know how you guys cut soybeans like that. This wheat I was cutting was probably 5-10bpa (just cutting it for some seed), and very short probably 8 in tall at the shortest. The stand was very thin and uneven. My question is why was it bunching up right in front and then starting to pitch wheat over the top of the auger and onto the reel? Also when it started to pile up right there in front it would start to not cut the heads right under the combine. I checked the sickles all my blades are there not broken and sharp enough to cut my finger. I would appreciate a little advice. Was there just not enough for it to get a good mat to feed? Is something wrong with the feeder house that makes it not take it in? Is there some magical adjustment that will solve all this? TIA | |
