We used to have the same thing happen with our M3 on occasion doing cob mix. It never got to be a problem though where it was happening all the time. Perhaps because we only ran a 4-38 head. Anyhow, I can't comment on the plastic elevator paddles - we never tried them. But speeding up the elevator would most likely help. I would find a smaller driven sprocket on the clean grain cross-auger to speed it up. Also, you might try propping up the clean grain bin fill auger to it's full height and unload before the corn reaches it. By doing this instead of letting it float, the auger would not have to push the corn out of itself and it may be just enough to prevent your slip clutch from going. We also had the slip clutch go (rarely) doing high moisture shell corn without cob. I always theorized that the l's didn't have any more real capacity in these conditions than the M's - they had the same size clean grain elevator that ran the same speed. If it could be overloaded on the smaller M's, the l's couldn't get any more through them either. Dry corn or small grains where another situation though! Best of luck - those M3's are great combines!
