If one is experiencing wheat piling up on the draper before it finally travels into the concave as a big slug, what is the issue? Reel is low enough...Manual says dull blades?? ------------- If its not an All-Crop, it all crap! |

Reel could be too low. If its pushing too far down on the crop it will move it backward standing not lay it back on the draper. |

| I agree with Roddo. In wheat all the reel has to do is lean or direct the wheat back to fall on the draper. Reel is way to low. |

| You may be cutting it to low .Cut as high as you can without missing low heads. The less amount of straw the better therhing. |

| I respectably disagree with wfmurray. What about farmers that bale straw? AllCrops were designed to take it all in and rubber on rubber threshing with their huge seperator area gave award winning results. The reel is too low picking up bunches of wheat instead of gently pushing it onto the draper. |

Ryan, it is possible to take in too much straw. I had a heavy stand and cut real low..plugging up like crazy..wasnt going too fast either..
BTw, your bars are in...will be shipping yours out this week.

My father would try to run the 72 allcrop we had as high as he could without losing any grain.Being dairy farmers the straw was as valuable as the wheat.If the wheat was tall enough they would bale what came out of the combine and then cut the standing straw with the sickle mower and bale that up also.Not every year,but if the wheat was tall enough and we needed the straw. ------------- You only need to know 3 things to be a plumber;Crap rolls down hill,Hot is on the left and Don't bite your fingernails 1964 D-17 SIV 3 Pt.WF,1964 D-15 Ser II 3pt.WF ,1960 D-17 SI NF,1956 WD 45 WF. |

Everybody around here that combined oats, would run the combine high to eliminate extra straw going through the combine. Clipping the straw was done before baling as it was an important crop. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

The manual says dull blades, they are referring to the bunches right at the sickle. I'd leave the reel low, so it just clears the canvas, but move it back so it helps the wheat up the slick canvas. If the wheat wraps on the reel, then you are too low with the reel. ------------- Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives. |

Wheat around the reel was not an issue...so you and Jim Palmer say keep the reel low....I sense a CONTROVERSY! LOL! ------------- If its not an All-Crop, it all crap! |

| I'm thinking your sickle sections would have to be pretty dull or your driving way too fast to have it bunch up on the canvas unless the reel is to low. The canvas has metal bars running across so they carry the crop up to the cylinder quite well. |
