This has been a terrible year for foxtail (actually a great year for foxtail!) and when running corn it's wrapping around the snapping rolls. On the bottom of the head, beside the rolls on the opposite side of the snapping plates, there are what appear to be wiper or scraper plates. They have slotted holes and can be slid towards the snapping rolls. We've never adjusted them. What should the clearance be? Do they need to be closer in messy, grassy conditions?
Anyone else having this problem this year? Seems like this summer was heaven for annual grasses.
This is a No. 642 John Deere head on a 6620 combine.
Thanks, folks.
