Southeast Washington | The difference though is the engine usually isn't started up with a full load on the belt. Sometimes the auger is put back full of grain and it slides to the bottom as the auger returns to the side. Then there is the compaction of grain into the hole leading to the grain auger. Turning on with the shock of a load and time will tell how the belt works.
We have jammed it to a stop in peas and garbanzo beans so we put a cover over the first perforated holes to reduce the load when starting up. I see no problem once the belt is moving, the problem though is the initial shock load of getting started. | |

When did Gleaner start doing this?
