Combines stripperfront

[red]

We have a Shelbourne cx66 (22') head on a 1666 and it works well if the crop is heavy or lodged. It may shell out some in a real thin stand, but if the crop is completely flat on the ground it will get it. We use it in wheat and barley. Speeds are 4-6 mph and you can't hear any rumbling or noise at all. I would get one with 4 rows of stainless steel strippers and 4 of plastic. We swath and bale the straw after harvest and this works really well.

Several guys in my area run them and they work real well in high yielding wheat. I have been told that they do not do as well in wheat that is yielding less than 50bu_acre. I helped one of my neighbors get up wheat with a stripper a couple of years ago and I was harvesting 80+ bu wheat at about 5mph with a 9500 running a 22ft stripper. I don't really know of any problems with them other than if you are in an area with large rocks they will bend the bars that the rubber teeth attach to.
