Ditching the fingers for fighting extensions. Anyone done it and regret it? I've been fighting every year to keep the fingers in time, or just going. seems at least once a year a rock or log gets in there and slams the fingers out of time, then things spiral quickly out of control. Floor sheet is banged up, fingers drop inside tube, then punch back out, currently the finger rod is bent and broke.
20 foot 1020 head with air reel, SCH sickle, good pans, good reel and fingers. Beans feed fairly good, just sickle of dealing with the fingers.
