cedar farm Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 I combine my oats every year with a 66 All crop. They do a nice job. The worst part like any older combine is climbing all over and under it to grease what seems like a 1000 grease serks. A picture my wife took a few years back. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawleigh99 Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Yep. Only problem is the bottom of my header tore below the auger. Now I have to rebuild that. It's always something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every draper header around here also has an auger to aid in feeding bunch crops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No heads bigger than 40’ to speak of and the top auger must not be as important in soybeans. Or maybe 40’ just doesn’t need it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drapers don’t feed worth a crap in peas, mustard and canola without the assistance of a top auger. I watched Farris cut my neighbors peas and his Macdons didn’t have augers. He’s a famous custom cutter and runs 7250s. Only place he runs into peas is our area so he doesn’t equip his headers with augers. I was watching him and I’m not shi11ing you when I say a 1460 with the standard 24’ 810 header would out cut any of those 7250s. They were having to go really slow so that the crop wouldn’t bunch up on the header and have the reel throw everything back out onto the ground. And the peas was only yielding around 15 bpa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawleigh99 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Thanks. I had most everything else on it running pretty good, but it tore the tin on the header underneath the auger. I guess it had worn pretty thin over the years. I guess I just need to get some paper and make a pattern and get it cut and rolled at the local fabricators. It hasn't been high on my priority list though. I only use it once a year at the local Farm museum threshing day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drapers don’t feed worth a crap in peas, mustard and canola We just don’t have much of a variety that we can raise here. I bet over 90% of platforms built in the last 30 years here have never had anything other than soybeans in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillman Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 I always heard they were the best for clover seed I have never seen one with a corn header on it. thats cool. Was Allis the first to put a corn header on a pull type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainman Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Dairy Farmer I worked for during 3 H.S. summers had a AC 60 to combine his oats. It had a 2 bag Scour Kleen on it to separate out the weed seed, that got fed to the hogs. He pulled it with his Farmall 300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bud guy Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Our local museum has two Allcrops and I know were there is a third one setting out in the prairie. Always thought they were weird having the separator 90 degrees to the header Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best yield they ever had was 8 bu/ac. At the time that was very good money. It is still in the barn, but I don’t think it has moved in 25 years. The last clover we cut was with a 6620 with a clover screen. Even that has been decades ago. The Allis cleaned better, but the 6620 was no comparison on productivity or operator comfort.

Rawleigh99 Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 An All Crop will give an awesomely clean sample is set up right. I have an old Scoukleen in the barn I want to rebuild for it if I ever get it going again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
