Combines jd220 can t cut close enough

did you get in under the slider pans and clean all the dirt outIJ they get packed in there clear up at the joint where you can't see real well and it may look like they are clean and still be jammed up. That thing has enough adjustment to cut sod. I have mine backed out 3_4 of total throw. GS

We had to put a tip kit from deere on the feeder house to tip the whole platform and then adjust the sicle level. works great. we are done for the season and are going to trade heads. we would be willing to sell it for $100 if you are interested. 217-395-2300

I don't know exactly whats wrong with yours but I do know that if it's anything like the 218 we have you should be able to cut close.Generally we like to cut close enough that you can not tell which direction it had been planted.Make sure as other post said that it is clean under neath,crap can pack in awful hard,make sure header control is not keeping it up,shut off control and cut manually see if it cuts lower when dropped hard on the ground.A few years ago when beans were very short we did all of them with head hard on the ground,used up a set of poly but got all the beans. It is able to cut close,something is keeping it from working.

I'm definately interrested in your tip kit. I have my head adjusted all the way tipped and it still doesn't cut close enough. I'll try to call you to work out the details on how we can trade cash for your kit. I'd apreciate having first shot at buying your kit. First chance I get I'll call you, probably morning or noon Wednesday. Thanks.

my cell phone number is 217-781-2300 if no answer at office Thanks

I tryed calling the other day and got a recording. I don't like talking to machines so I'll try you again or your cell. Is this tilt thing something that you can UPSIJ I got no idea what it looks like,never seen one. I am interested in purchasing it from you if we can work it out. Thanks

yes it would be able to ship UPS just give me call office 217-395-2300 cell 217-781-2300

let as much air out of rear tires as possible. This allows more rotation of feeder house and therefore more forward tip of knife.
