Combines l2 sidehill capacity

[T__langan]

Not aware of any electric sidehill blowers so I can't comment on that. But you may want to look into sidehill raddle chains for your l2. They help hold the grain a little on sidehills. Be sure to replace both raddles - replacing only one won't help much if the grain is sliding downhill on the other raddle. Good luck- Tom langan

We ran two l2's without the sidehill blower and depending upon the slope in good corn you really had to slow down. I would make sure though that you have the long tooth chaffer in your machine to give you the greatest capacity. later on I had an l3 with the hillside blower and it helped a bunch. I dont know about the electric blower system, it might be easier to find a salvage hillside blower unit. Glad to see that your corn is making a good yield, our dryland corn is not going to be pretty. Good luck, Mike

Thanks for the advice. We are running a sidehill rattle on the rear, long rattle and not on the short front one.I will check into getting one.Thanks again.

Before you try a different front raddle, look into springs that bolt to the side of the shoe. The holes are already drilled on most machines. This really seemed to help on sloping conditions. We have a M2 and cut Wheat,Milo,Soybeans.I Would be glad to hear from anyone else on this matter of shoe loss.

I made my own springs using 2" wide banding material app. 18" long then bolt them to the sides of the shoe. The holes are found in the front part of shoe just an 1" OR 2" above the chaffer. You could also find more info or buy them at your AGCO dealer. They really work good on moderate slopes. If you get alot of material build-up to one side of the shoe the curved springs cup and bat the material toward the center of the shoe. This helps a bunch cause the air coming up through the chaffer has a better chance to lift and suspend the chaff and let the grain fall through the chaffer and not on the ground.
