Corn harvest

Started combining yesterday.Opened up the fields so I can disk ends smooth.Water marks/furrows are h&!! to bounce across. you nonirrigators in the midwest dont get to experience (or deal with) water marks. Lucky dogs.LOL I like to take 12 or 16 rows across the ends.Easy turning. Corn is 13%,dryer than I expected.So far,yield seems to be about normal.As usual,the old 95 is doing a superb job. Cylinder speed is just over 400,filler plates are removed, concave is 1 1/2" in front,3'4 in rear.Lower sieve is wide open,so no return is comeing through.It's all nongmo,my customer hauls it 40 miles up into the 'mountains'.Looks to be a good harvest season.
 
I just finished shelling some corn for a neighbor here too. I talked him into hooking up his disc to knock down the water furrows as well. He gave me 12 rows to turn on. Corn was about 14% as well. Next year I think I will put on a bigger pulley and belt so I can get cylinder a little slower. In northern Utah here. I have an F2 with a 4 row head. I found out that some combines sold in wheat country don't have heaters! But the AC works good.
 
Good memories Steve! We had over a hundred and fifty acres of silage corn with furrow irrigation that we cut the end of the rows on with a corn knife and then threw them in to a wagon. Then we hand fed them into the IH 550 chopper in the yard. Those Holsteins loved fresh cut silage! Discing the end rows ment silage harvest was going to start soon.

Does your 95 have a variable speed cylinder or do you change sprockets for cylinder speed? I had trouble with the 95 (and even the 105 this year) with the cylinder belt wanting to slip. My corn was 17-18% moisture and yeild is around 200 bu. I have talked to other 95-105 owners that have had the same issues. I wish mine did not have the variable speed on the cylinder. I am hoping to do a full rebuild on my 95 and have even thought about getting a cylinder that has the sprockets. I started out with a 45 and you had to change sprockets to adjust speed but we rarely change mainly just between crops. Tom
 
It's a 1965 sb 'wheat queen' from Kansas. Sprockets,not the variable drive.Havent changed em since I bought the machine 10 years ago.
