This would be an ideal setup for our popcorn crop! A regular corn head has to have all of the stripper plates readjusted and there’s still head loss due to the small diameter of the ears.
If you had more than one combine but only had 1 corn head these might be great if you got behind. A new combine today could deal with the extra material I think.
I just seen this today at the Farm Science Review. It's pretty interesting and probably works well in lighter corn. I don't know how well it would work in 200 bushel corn just because of the amount of crop material coming into the combine that is usually pulled through the corn head.
There is a video floating around and is attached below for 250 bushel per acre. However, the speed of the combine is 2.0~2.1 MPH. That translates to about 1/2 of a similar corn header combine at same yield. Edit: the slower speed is likely due to the crop material being pulled through. I would wonder about the wear and tear of corn fodder passing through such a combine.
@@Commissar0617 40' for both. Processing all the plant material slows it down. Which is about 2,000 bushel less per hour. Which would depend on the individual farmer's needs, imo.
I,m missing some thing here, others are too, Corn header for shearing stocks, Correct yes, no ??? Thresher for wheat, grass seed, etc. Why in the world would you use a thresher on corn???? hello, anyone paying attention out there???
Hi Dean, you are right, sort of, I cant hear well, I have hearing loss/ impairment, I watched the video over again, and listened intently, I understand now, heard every word,, great, very informative video,, thanks dean for bringing it to my attention,, I love agriculture, all of its applications,, learning new things,,
140 bu is a good yield depending on what you have put into it. If you put down bare minimum N, lower seed rate and one pass of roundup...140 is good. If you put 400 lbs down, 34k seed rate and 3 passes of Roundup...you better get the rains...and hope for 220+.
