Combines SCH upside down better for trashIJ

JJ, When you find the answer for the SCH pushing trash let me know. I run it on a red combine in very heavy notill corn or wheat residue. When it gets a little damp in the evenings it is either push trash or cut the beans higher.

JJ, I'm running a 500 series head with a new SCH system installed upside down. No problem with pushing trash during the day but as soon as it starts to get damp in the evening I have a bit of trouble in some no-till fields. My experience is that the trash starts to buildup back at the skid plates and not at that guards though so things like angle of the knife, spring tension and condition of your poly are things I would check. We have been blessed with excellent harvesting conditions so far this year and the upside down arrangement has been working well but I can see that in not so perfect conditions (like last year) it may not work quite as well. As far as shaving the ground it can't be beat.

We have a 825 flex head with a SCH sickle would someone please enlighten me about turning the sickle upside down IJ What all are you turning upside down IJ We do a decent job of cutting our soybeans now, yet it could always be better . Thanks, for the information !
