It turns freely is all I know. It looks like it was a stationary model and its on a home built trailer

I had another thread going about pto corn shellers. In an stroke of good fortune I found and was able to buy a pto sheller. Its a haban 200. I had to buy it at auction sight unseen but it looks complete from the photos. I tried Google but found very little about the model 200, kind of bought it spur of the moment. Can anyone have experience with them (capacity, areas to watch, adjustments) or know where to get a manual?

It works good. I think i used a 2.5 inch drive pulley and an 8 inch i think pulley on the sheller and run the tractor around 1100 or 1200 rpm. I think it turns around 80 rpm. I can adjust up or down as needed. At idle its a little too slow. Its just not enough capacity to run a gravity wagon through. If I had seen this earlier I would have gotten better pics. If it loads properly I've attached a screenshot of a video of it

That deere is what im looking for. I have rigged up a pto drive for a hand crank sheller, but i have a couple of gravity wagons that I need to shell. The little sheller isnt going to cut it capacity wise

Did anyone make a small pto corn sheller. Something around 100 to 200 bushels per hour capacity? Id love to have something to shell some of our ear corn to grind for pigs. If thre is something out there could you provide model numbers to aid in my search. Ive converted a hand sheller to be pto powered, it works but isnt near the capacity I would like

So dad was able to pick super early and finished without issue. I guess the dew did the trick

I wont be able to try for a couple of days, day job has me tied up. Might get my dad or brother to give it a go in my absence. Ill update with what happens

If you hear of a variety that is compatible with pickers please let me know. Ive asked my seed rep for one for years, and for one that is shorter stature, and I get this which was bigger than a lot of silage corn around here. Dont get me wrong its turning off good, but has headaches. I was wanting to pick it a little greener but it dried off way faster than I anticipated. I normally dont start picking till November

I tried and it didnt help. It actually caused problems in the husking bed. All of the ears went to the back and with with all of the shuck pulling through on one side of the bed. It over loaded one side of the kernel saver chain. And it made a wad in there and made the slip clutch slip.

Before welding the stalk wouldn't pull through quick enough and it would get drug out of the ground even in low 1st. I wasn't sure if the welding would help, thats why I did it in stages. They dont have stripper plates. Im thinking about taking the green shields off where its packing up under the rolls and possibly modifying the frame there to widen it out. The theory I am thinking is if there is more open space the fodder would be more inclined to fall on out. As it sits right now that channel where it clogs is about 6 inches wide

Im open to all thoughts and perspectives right now. Its making me pull my hair out.

Tried changing ground speed and from low 1st to low 3rd with different pto speeds. Corn is canopy high or a fuzz taller on my 706. Most of the stalks make it to the rear before they are going down. Hopefully you can tell in this picture. Happens the same with the head high or low. Its almost like the the stalks arent letting the fodder clear. Tried opening the snapping rolls up and no change until they were wide enough that nothing would feed down then obviously it just ripped the roots out of the ground. That area under the snapping rolls is enclosed on the sides, and the stalks are acting like a bottom and the fodder gets stuck and builds up. Im wondering about seeing if i can take some of the metal panels that make that "box" to see if it would let the fodder out. Corn is planted on 30 inch rows at 30k population and tested at 14.5% moisture

The buildup happened in stages. Starting with the snapping pockets.it helped solve the problem with a different issue of the top of the plant breaking off with the ear still on the stalk but the stalk wasn't wanting to pull through the snapping rolls. So at the advice of some people on yesterday's tractor forum I added the texture weld spatter, just the back half, now the stalks pull down like they should through the snapping rolls. Still had the issue of buildup under the snapping rolls. So i added more thinking maybe the front part wasnt starting to pull the stalk down and it was making it too far back. So i then added it to the front. No change.

I have a 323, it grabs the stalk and pulls them down great. It pulls the ear off fine. The rolls have been welded up and i have added some spatter texture. The pockets have been built up and I used a carbide burr to make them "square". Im having trouble with fodder build up directly under the snapping rolls. It doesnt pack in super tight. If I stop every couple of rounds I can reach up under the head and a gentle tug will make it fall out. If left alone it will cause it to pack in and not let the stalks come far enough into the head and will clog up. Its almost like as the fodder is falling through it is getting stopped by the stalk and it cant fall on through. It happens with the head up high or low. Im running in low 2 ta ahead on my 706 pto speed doesnt matter. Tried on dry days as well as after a light mist, makes no difference. Has anyone had this problem before?

Almost every day. The bad thing they are trying to buy land i dont own
