Combines I m a happy STS owner

[rj]

We run a 01 9650sts with 1293 corn head and 930F reel over about 3200 arces of corn and soybeans, we have about 320 sep. hours on it now. Hardly and breakdowns. Just a few minor things. We did have to replace one Goodyear 18.4 42 dual though.

Glad to finally see something positive. Traded 2 weeks ago for 2002 9650 sts. Was very happy with the one we ran this fall.

I was starting to think i had the only good one out there, but we have 2 9750's ran w_ 30ft flex heads,and 12 row 20 inch corn heads. I put close to 400 sep hrs on this fall and the only major problem i had was the fuel vents plugging and i collasped my tank and the stand pipe bent. took all of 15min. to fix. just bent pipe back and re-bled the fuel sys and was goin. I here there is a update to solve this problem and it will be takin care of this winter while in for the service inspection. I felt they did a excellent job for the yr we had up here in S.D. loved the countor master! its well worth the extra money trust me! Was wondering though, why did J.D. not put the fans in the feeder house on the stsIJIJ got into some smutty corn and when rotor is only goin 200 to 250 rpm she looks like an old 9600 running. Kinda hard to see at times, but ya learn to live w_ it. Power was excellent in the high % corn but never got over 160 b_a wet. All in all i guess i was happy w_ the machines and our dealer was just as good. Oh yeah, did have to replace my chopper rotor in beans, stub shaft on rt hand side weld was bad from start, just let loose one nite in 30 bu. beans. but before we were ready to start in the morn, our dealer was there and him and i had it replaced in about an hr. I guess it was another update and it was going to get replaced durning the inspection anyway. So thats my input,,,,,,,,belive it,,,or not!!! mit9750

For mit9750. You may try removing the rubber curtains just in front of the chopper on the right and left sides. This will allow more of the cleaning system air to bleed off and not have to go through the chopper. The pressure reduction in the back of the machine will allow more air to be pulled in at the front and reduce the dust. Running the chopper in slow speed when in corn doesn't let it move the air out the back as well as when it's in high speed. I have run a couple of machines this way and it does not cause any problems at the back such as trash piles. I have not run the rotor as slow as you are though, but it still may be worth a try next time.
