NW Iowa | I have a John Deere 643 corn head that is getting fairly old and tired. I check the deck plates last year and set them to the right measurements front and rear. But still seem to have quite a bit of volunteer corn. I made a homemade square and checked for loss at the header and after the combine and mostly all my loss is coming from the header. I harvest most of my corn between 15 and 18% I know this is more shelling and loss at dryer moistures but we have no bins and everything goes to town. The rolls and paddles are running as slow as the can to try minimize shelling but I can barely go 3 mph with the 6R30" on my 9400. The ears start stacking up and can't get into the auger if I go faster. How do I tell if my stalk rolls are shot? Should I be looking into different rolls or gathering chains with paddles? Any opinions on what BR welding sells? Thanks in advance!! | |
