GLEANER K QUESTION

I wanted to add that it lists acres per hour(aph) for Acres combined per hour @ 1mph.  So, if the K is set properly and picking reasonably standing corn, it should be able to do 2.5 mph.  At 2.5mph, the 0.8aph becomes 2.0  & 0.9aph becomes 2.25.  Im thinking those figures are theoretical.  In 1976, a K2 330 should have been able to harvest 22.5 acres of corn in 10 hours unloading on the go with very long passes.  At 130 bu/a, thats 2925 bushels or 32.5 graintank loads @ 90bu/k2 graintank or 3.2 loads per hour like DrAllis stated.  Today, a k2 330 harvesting 200 bu/a corn would equate 4500bushels or 50 graintank loads @ 90bu/K2 graintank.  The K without graintank extensions carries 66 bushel.  In 1976, the 130bu/a total of 2925 bushels/10 hours ~ 45 loads or 4.5 loads per hour.  A K in 200 bu/a corn ~ 70 graintank loads....  The book specs unload time for a K2 @96bushel graintank is 84 seconds. 

Clint- this Crop Saving Guide booklet was produced for the K2-F2 combine.  But, it does show bigger corn head capacities Acres combined per hour @ 1mph as follows:

238 0.8

330 0.9

430 1.2

438 1.6

630 1.8

830 2.4
