You are setting it wrong. You need whole cobs out the back. ( 5/8 is too narrow) Then increase cylinder speed until all the kernels are off the cob.
You are running your cylinder slow but are grinding it because you have the cylinder set too tight.
Open the cylinder up some and drive faster. YES faster. Corn on corn will not damage the kernels like steel on steel.
So 1) Open the cylinder up until you have 90% whole cobs out the back.
2) Speed up the cylinder until you have few kernels left on the cob. Keep the combine full while you are doing this.
