George, what I am trying to say, is that if the corn head is set up properly, and in good mechanical condition, there will be a minimal amount of trash for the husking bed to deal with. If you run a JD head so slow that it is using some of the forward motion of the machine to pull the ears off the stalks, like the slow roll speed on most pickers, you will have lots of trash to deal with. And problems with an overloaded husking bed. I think that may have been the problem you had. The JD head works best when you see that stalk go vertically straight down, very fast. To do that, the head speed has to be just slightly faster than ground speed. Never slower. And, this too, is just my opinion! I am enjoying the discussion.
