I have a 30 Foot challenger 9250 dyna flex hooked up to my gleaner s98 that doesn't seem to sit quite right. With the head tilted fully forward the skid shoes on the divider ends ride on the heal. The front (after the curved part) is still about 2.5 inches off the ground. Does that sound right? I would think it should be close to parallel with the ground. When on soft ground it bunches up and drags under the skid. Eventually it starts to furrow or push dirt ahead of the cutterbar.

We also have a 9250 on our combine. That seems to be the way they run. Ours wears the plastic off on the back of the skid plate, and at night it wants to push up leaves and junk ahead and plug up. We drive diagonal to the rows in soybeans and that helps some. On the new header they supposedly fixed that problem. I'm not sure what the model number is, 9330 maybe? I'm afraid to ask how much a new one costs these days. Sickle timing is critical on that header. We found out the hard way that just because the letters on the 2 pto shafts are lined up does not mean the sickles are in time. They have to travel through the guards at the exact same time. We tore ours up. Still, I think it is wonderful compared to our old 8200 header.

Not overly familiar with that header/combine combo but my in-laws had something like that and heard them mention a wedge kit for the feeder house after they were experiencing harvest difficulties. You might want to check with your dealer and see if there was an update or any service bulletins that came about over time.

Your dealer should have a chart for what skids to run. There are high and low. Depends if you have axle risers or not and what tires you have. I used to have it somewhere would have to look and see.

We have had this header for quite a few years now and it works good except when in lodged crops and wet dirt. We found ot long ago that the plastic skids on the ends only last a couple hundred acres at best if running the head on the ground so I made some out of about 1/8th stainless that generally last a couple of years. This head has the skids that keep the knife higher off the ground and we did look into getting the others but agco did not recommend them at the time. We did put a wedge kit under the knife to allow it to run flatter with the head tipped fully forward and that helped a bit with cutting. The combine has 620 duals on it and that should make the header pitch forwards a bit more than if the machine was on smaller tires. I took a look under the ends yesterday and with some cutting and welding I think I can get the rear of the skid up about an inch or so but I don't know if that would make much of a difference.

There are high profile and low profile skid shoes - and cutterbar 'wedge' kits to tailor the head to the risers and tire sizes of combines.
