Neat videos. I liked when the yellow corn came out of the chute.

In my humble opinion, yes, a 66 would be easier on the beans–again, What Would Jimmy Say?(WWJS)

Thanks for your comments fellas, the seed I am after will be birdsfoot trefoil, and red clover seed mainly, but if next year-2008, is as weird as 2007 has been for me its hard telling what I might harvest. This year in my organic row crop I am doing corn,but in 09 it will be beans again, I have been using my 3300 on my eadible soys, but have a lot of splits using this combine do you think I could do a better job with the all crop 66? again thank you

But I realized you asked a another new question on windrowing…

It depends on the crop..Look at the back of the owners manual; it has instructions for windrowing per crop. Also you may want to ask this ? on http://www.allischalmers.com

I am going to do more seed this year, my 66 has a pick up instead of a real, can some one refer me to some info on when the crops are ready to windrow? Also with all the grease fittings on the allcrop I am thinking about putting grease stations on it, do you think its doable?

Jimmy said this:

“With the grease lines I could see an advantage to using banks and not having the fun job of crawling under the combine and getting a fresh face of chaff, but I also have been around machines with them and the plastic tubes can crack and break causing another maintence item. I have thought about this myself but decided against it for the sake of the extra work it would cause if the lines malfunctioned.

As for a combine for small seed crops I would say a canvas machine like a 60 or 66 would be the best if you were harvesting delicate crops and were worried about damage. The auger head machines are more efficient but use a metal raddle to drag the material to the cylinder. I imagine if the crop is really delicate this could cause some damage.”

So its not a matter of SIZE that determines if drapers are better; but rather how delicate the seed is….

Happy New Year!

On the lines? Hmm would be awesome if you can pull it off. I have never heard of it being done, I got to think some of those zerks would be hard to get to with a hose (but of course if a grease gun can get to it, why could a hose?)

On the small seed, I got to think the drapers will be more gentle on the seed..But thats my hunch which is not worth much. Has anyone have experience with the two methods?

When I am given such thought provoking questions, I usually refer to my “shenshi” Jim Palmer..hopefully he will offer his two cents in……
