Hi guys,
I have a new to me last year jd 4400 diesel combine. It is in great shape and well care for. It did a great job in 50 bushel beans last year. I have been picking and cribbing my corn in the past, so my only experience is with a corn picker. What gear should I be in for 200 bushel corn on 30 inch rows and a plant population of about 35,000 plants per acre? I was told 2nd gear and obviously adjust the variable speed as needed, but that seems fast. Can that combine handle 200 bushel corn at that speed? Thanks for your advice.
