John,I think that Gleaner definatly needs to address the entire issue of residue management real soon. We ridge-till and in our situation we strive to get an even distribution of chaff and straw over the entire width of the head. Our R60 is equipped with a chaff spreader, chopper, and dual spreader. It is adequate, but we would like to see it both the chaff spreader, chopper and spreaders improved. In Gleaners defense, presently theirs seems to be as good as most other colors. I do like New Holland's chopper set up though. We had a neighbor with an N5 who put on a Gehl Straw Storm chopper. That did an excellent job! Unfortunatly Gehl quit making them a few years back. Maybe Gleaner could Copy something like thaIJ Again I think this issue is very important! The crop residues are getting tougher (more disease resistance etc..) each year. The planting populations have increased. And of course we all want to drive like mad with a wider head. Hope they do something soon. Brian
