The good news is that I don't have that much corn to pick and it seems to be running pretty good. The bad news is that it is planted too thick and the picker is plugging.
Counter-intuitively, running in 2nd gear (vs 1st) seems to keep it from breaking the stalks off and plugging up so quickly, but it is still taking 1 1/2 hours to pick 1500 feet of row.
Questions: 1) Any ideas on what else to try to keep it from plugging ? 2) Is it faster to stop as soon as one stalk does not go through, clear that one, and keep from having to pull out a dozen ? 3) Once it plugs up, I have been breaking the ears off on the top side and then pulling the stalks and trash out the bottom. Is there a better way ?
