nice video dennis.  just a question to all who combine corn , what purpose does it serve to run the corn head so low if your corn isn,t down?

-------------

Looks cool! Makes me want to find a 4 row head, adapt it to my Super 100, and harvest the corn I'll probably never have. Lol

 The corn was planted on 30" rows but the corn head is 38". This is why the stalks are being pushed to both sides and at times shake the ears off the stalk.
 The combine worked very well and handled the high yield corn without issues. The head was more of a problem. The head is to wide for the 30" rows so full ears are dropped on the ground. Also with the new varieties of corn that are taller filling the apron with trash and can plug. This is why you see me stop a few times so the apron can clean out before it plugs.

Awesome. Thanks for the video.

Two questions:

1. How are you not deaf? I mean HOW ARE YOU NOT DEAF?

2. How come these never caught on? They seem so rare, so there couldn't have been too many produced. But I would think farmers would want to maximize their investment and harvest everything they could with an All Crop?

 Well the decibel meter shows that our Ford focus and the tractor with combine are about the same. I don't wear ear protection in my car.

 If I were farming back in the day I would have had 2 All-Crops. It's not an easy switch and it's a two man job.

Kinda satisfying eh Dennis? There is a real Cool factor there. Need to pick up an old wide row planter to make things sweeter.How'd you like do 100A with that?

I guess you have a portable one to measure with? Glad to know the tractor/combine isn't too bad. I'd like to measure the decibels running a 100. That cylinder right next to you is pretty loud! Same with the old Masseys.

 Yes it is. My wife and I have been working on this combine for about 3-4 weeks so it's very satisfying to see the fruit of our labor.
 I do have a 38" planter but the corn was planted months before I purchased the corn All-Crop.
 I think the worst part of run 100 acres though an All-Crop would be the small grain bin. Sure it would be slow going but to do it with a 18 bushel bin which takes 3-4 mins to unload, no thank you.

They made an extension for both the bin and the grain elevator. I think they're rare though. 

I've often wondered if you could speed up the unloading by putting a smaller driven sheave on the bin.

They never caught on because in the 50's no one was shelling corn. Most was ear picked and ground for feed. The rest was ear picked than ran through a sheller or shelled at the elevator. Most corn was used on the farm either as ground feed or corn silage. I think it was around 1980 before they ever combined corn on my grandpa's dairy farm.

That's such a cool video. I've always thought that combine with a corn hear would be so cool. I bet it'll do a lot better job next year on wide rows. It's hard to pick it clean when you're twisting and pulling the stalks so ad.

You need a short gravity wagon so you can dump on the go. Then you don't worry about the bin size!

Great video!

These heads were hard on the machines also. Most of the corn head combines I have seen are pretty worn.

If anybody has a left hand snoot for one I am still looking.

Thanks for taking the video and posting it too! Yea we picked all our ear corn and put it in a crib. I always hated shoveling a grist into the pickup.
Regards,
