Combines Corn Head

[99_9410]

We use them. They do a great job of chewing the stalks down, especially when they're on the green side. They do steal a little horsepower, which isnt a problem for us, since we just run a 4 row, but we also ran them with our 6620 with no problem at all.

NO!!! Not unless you want to feed wildlife.

Those pecker-sized ears are a real problem. We run into those problems too in a dry year or corn that's on poor ground. If you set the stripper plates close enough to get them, then the stalks won't feed through easily. We've found that letting them go through is the best bet - and being sure to catch the larger ears. Be sure to make sure the blades on the snapping rolls have a good, square edge - if not, may need to turn them around or replace. Rounded edges lessen the agressivness of the snapping rolls. Good luck- Tom langan

You might try removing the ear saver flaps. We have had to do this in dry years when the ear is small.
