Aberdeen MS | Generally speaking, residue managers set to intersect need a good healthy soil contact to keep turning. In heavy residue, the managers need to pull the residue "mat" apart before it can move it. With minimal ground contact, which you have with heavy residue cover, there isn't enough "traction" for the wheels to keep rotating and pull the mat apart.
With them offset, each wheel turns on it's own, even without making ground contact moving residue independently of each other.
The tougher stalks of today's corn do not disintegrate as easily as corn of old, and stalks getting into both wheels at the same time actually end up acting more like small tree branches rather than corn stalks.
The offset position might not give you a 100% residue free strip, but the plugging should be greatly reduced. | |
