Combines Ist day in corn with 8010

[farmert]

mines doing well also. had the cleaning fan come apart, but other than that is working well We are still in beans hope to have a 36' 2020 on it the next day or two. FR do you know what they put at the top of your feederhouse on the gearsIJ mine as well as a new 2005 has nothing. mine rolled up once and threw the chains out of whack, but it doesn't bother in beans was wondering if you had the scrapers in yours. thanks Tony

Tony mine has nothing also, but I will check tomorrow. Are you just trying that 2020 36ft. Hope it works good for you. If you ever get a chance try the draper we really like it. You know I might just start to like this 8010 if it keeps running. Our control pressure has been holding good so far this year. We put on some new rubber today traded off 20.8-42s for 800-32 metrics with duals with a 14" space between got them from Wold tire out of Iowa salesman claims they have taken tracks off and installed these and they go through mud better. We will find out it is pretty wet around here on the black ground.

their is a new style bar and scrapers for the top gears. I don't know why they did not put them in. I've ordered them through parts and am going to try them, or adapt one from a 2388. I'm afraid of messing the chains up and it sounds like parts are short on them good luck we missed the rain still dam dry here

Cornking, Is that an 18 row, 20" head or 30" headIJ Who'sIJ Chuck

 

[CORNKING]

That is 18r 22" head made by Clark machine in S. Dakota with all new 2200 series row units

If the 8010 made a 360 degree turn from last year, then it must be the same old worthless piece of scrap iron. 300 bpa, is that over the scales or is it the monitor set for bragging rights at the local coffee shopIJ

 

[Rockpicker]

Good one on the 360 degree turn!! Never thought of that until I read your post.

 

[CORNKING]

Have scale on cart and that is wet bushals at 22% have lots more irrigated feilds you aparently do not know much about irragation So far this 8010 has impressed me this year.I have ran it myself the last 2 days not my son.It is a new machine from what it was last year.When in the corn 4500 bu per hr was easy to do on 3_4 mile rounds,We will see how it comes thrue the season. My question have you ever owned or drove one. Or are you a wanabe farmer.

Thank you!

I am curious as to the logistics of handling 300 bu. corn. For example, we cut down the middle of the field to keep the auger on the outside. I am sure many do. However, by my math, 300 bu corn, 3_4 mile rounds, and 18 row head adds up to 900 bushel per pass. How do you get that to workIJ not trying to be a smart$n%, just curious.
