Case Nutty 1660

I thought I would share this,, I had asked this question here a few years ago but no one really had ran into it,,, that was on a straw walker machine,, the short stems from the alfalfa would turn and drop into the walker grids at the last step in the walker,, this would plug tight once this happened,,, no fun to clean out,, it also would run a large amount of the down the front of the walker grids and plug the grain pan with straw,,, all Bad news,, and a real Pain! Last year I added a 600 CASE machine into my "Herd" and thought it would be a great machine for alfalfa seed,,, it is a straw rack machine,, well it plugged the last two steps of the rack TIGHT,, as well as the return pan under the rack all the way to the concave, I also had plugged it Tight on the grain pan,,, BUT it showed me what was going on in both types of machines,, and I had a thought,,, make me grid covers easy to install and remove on the last step of the rack (will work as well on a walker),,, had some scrap paneling form a remodel job,,, right width,, cut them to length, screwed a wood stake tot he panel, then screw through holes already in the rack grid,,, Then I felt is would be too slick to walk it up the covers,, so a few beads from my hot glue guns and ,,,Vola! ran her for a couple hours today rack seems to be staying 99% clean now Zero build up,,, not sure if anyone will ever face this but you never know,,,
