Hancock county, IL | I have a friend trying to chop silage with a New Holland 770 chopper with older New Holland 2 row 30 inch head. He is chopping 30 inch corn that has decent height(length). The head knives are cutting the plants off fine and the gathering chains seem to be pulling the crop up fine. The problem is that the head will plug right at the rolls that pull the corn into the machine. It seems that the corn is turning from vertical to horizontal as it should to enter the machine but after this phase it plugs. He has tried changing the head speed from the medium to lower speed sprocket and vise versa and it has not helped. He has noticed if he only chops the outer row it seems to work as it should. Can anyone give us any ideas of things to check or try.
Thanks for any help. | |
