Pull type combining.

rusty6 · Sep 24, 2023

Finally got a chance to review some of the tractor seat video I shot while combining with the 7721 JD combine the past week. I can make pretty good time on the
wheat swaths but the lumpy canola swaths are a bit of a nightmare. The header auger slip clutch and the belt that drives the feeder chain get a real workout and
abuse on this job.

Like to see the pull type combines. I thought you have a red self propelled combine? Does it make any difference using a pull type over a self propelled? Or is it how the head is set up and easier to use a different machine than switch things over? Enjoyed the video. Chris

I originally bought the pull type conventional to do flax as the IH rotary was giving me nothing but grief. Worked for a few years but eventually I had to quit growing flax as even the JD conventional was wrapping and winding flax straw.
The IH is still somewhat useable but has a bad oil leak from the pto shaft seal that we can't seem to fix.
I've just spent a few hours of torture laying on the straw walkers of the JD unplugging the rear beater. Canola straw is very wiry and tough this year added to the poor job my swather did. Hoping the beater drive belt is still ok but it released a bit of smoke before I got it shut down.
