Combines 30 ft platform on 2366

Before we got our 2188 we had a 1688 that we ran with a 30ft head. The 1688 is about the size of a 2166_2366 maybe even smaller. We had no problems running it and thought it was great. We recomend duals for stability.

In my part of Australia 30ft 1010's are the normal equipment for 66's.

Thanks for the info. The only thing the dealers tell me that might be a problem is the extra leverage_torque on the smaller throat of a '66.

Just bought a new one and the dealer put on some extra pushers for auger. He says this is better and run about 100 bucks. I have not seen it yet, but he wants them on else to much fodder at edges and not enough in center. I took his word as he has more out that way.

I don't quite understand. Are you running the 30 ft on a '66IJ Is it newIJ Are the x-tra fingers to feed in the narrower feeder houseIJ

Yes, that is what I understand. Without them on the auger, the feeder house on 2366, being narrower then a 2388, it would not get enough of the fodder to the center. Sorry it took me so long, I have not been at this site for awhile.

Are you talking about extra fingers or extended flighting on the augerIJ

Thanks for the info joclarhy. I take it that you are going to run soybeans with this machine. I'd like for you to let me know your dealer so that I could visit with him or one of his customers to see how things are working for them. I really don't need all the capacity of an 88' but i would sure like to take 30 ft of beans to stay on matched rows.
