Subject: New JD 630 head-beaking too many guards!!!



Dalton, OH
I've never run a 630 JD head until this year. It was brand new at the beginning of the season. Used to run a 930F. I'm running it on a 9670STS and I'm having trouble breaking a lot of guards. I've run 400 acres with it and probably broke 20-25 guards. On my old 930F, I ran the same ground plus another 600 acres a year and would maybe break 2 guards the whole season. These are not rocky conditions. I have the short-long guards with the short-long sections. It seem the tops of the guards are what is breaking off. I've talked with my Deere dealer and they said to check the hold-dows and make sure they are adjusted to .002". I've done that and I'm still have serious issues. One thing I've noticed is that the cutterbar doesn't seems straight when you look at it from the end. It goes up and down, wavy-like, across the head. Is this normal? Its been like that from day one. All ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,
