That is interesting. I have never had that shrouded chute plug up. I imagine you had a slow speed sprocket on the head drive. JD 40 series cornheads have to run fast. You want those stalks ripped straight down very quickly. That, and you need to run the deck plate spacing on the narrow side, but not too narrow. You want those stalks running thru there in single file. If the head is set up right, you will get very little fodder into the machine at all. About half the ears will be pretty well husked right at the head. A combine's variable speed feeder house will quickly show the differences in head speeds. I don't think there was anything wrong with my New Idea. Other than it's just much older technology. I once picked some poor corn for a neighbor (130-140 bushel) and the NI worked fine.
