Combines How to keep green stems from slugging

Install Kuchar Filler Plates, they work excellent. Have installed many sets and all have loved them.

Did you take the filler plates outIJ Did it helpIJ Just curious.

I have had another issue with my cylinder drive planetary gearbox, and I have not been able to get to the bars. The beans now have browned up so well it won't matter, but I still plan on doing this. The problem I have with my gearbox is the thing whines so bad I find it quite annoying in the cab while running. I put it in direct and it is dead quiet. So, I took it off, had it rebuilt, which the tech thought meant fix what it only needed and didn't replace much. Same gear set and most of the needle brgs. So it still whines, and I am really tired. Maybe these all make noiseIJ this is the first experience I have ever had with a 9000 series machine so I have no idea. Thanks again for your help, gs

Thanks for all the advice. We ground out auger down and that seemed to really help the feed. We also found that our reel needed lowering in one corner. Sped up the cylinder to 500 and gave it a running start into the wads. Also pinched it down to 6 and helped the feed. Some day we will be able to move to a 920F instead of our old head and might enjoy cutting beans a little better. Did I read someone was running a 925F on a 9410IJ How does that work out and are their any engine mods to handle the extra workIJ
