65 bushels per acre. Gave the old 42 a real workout.

@@rogermiller7411 everything seemed to be running smoothly. Have you had decent weather during harvest?

Thanks!

Thanks 👍

You got that right!

On the later models yes. The earlier “round back” 42’s let you run just the augur.

You could harvest corn with it. The corn head is a model 205 which also fits on the 40 self propelled model. I had 2 of the 205’s to try to make one good one but gave up on the idea and sold them. My New Idea picker sheller is a better option for me.

@@rogermiller7411 thanks for the info

I believe 45. I have run mine with an IH 450, JD 730, 630 and 1520. John Deere promotional material shows it matched with a 3010 or a 3020. Make sure whatever tractor you use has a low ground speed.

Most of the loss is at the head. It was extremely dry this year at harvest so pods were extra dry. Still averaged close to 70bu which was about the limit of the 42. Ran the tractor in first gear.

7.5 inches

I believe it is an aftermarket cap made for Olivers that has a gauge in it. I found this one at a tractor show - it was in bad shape but I repaired it and now it’s fairly accurate. No markings as to who made it.
