Soybean harvest in Iowa

[brian93ist]

my friend baled a field of beans for hay this year good hay but cost a lot to plant

[brian93ist]

our beans where as tall as our header in all our fields going slower helps you get more dont know why you go so fast?

[plowmaster1206]

we drill at 7.5 rows.

i figger the plowing is due to less than ideal conditions. cutting beans early and late in the day, the plowing simptoms are on and off almost like a switch. ive played with the sensitivity and tried cutting at an angle and still get the plowing.

i guess it just tells me when i souldnt be in the field nomores. i still have about 200 acres left to do.

Why do you still plant beans on 7.5in rows?

[alvie2]

I would rather have those super tractor lights on my combine. Must be double the light.

[jeff04pred]

have you tried running the header at an angle across the feild? That helps when its wet out.

[plowmaster1206]

how fast you goin there cliff?

thanks for the vid

i cant keep my 1020 flex from plowing on the ends, any suggestions?

[Anteater6788]

Running 5mph in the video. Don't know what to suggest on your 1020 but that seems to be a common complaint.

[brian93ist]

@Anteater6788 what did this field make an acre?

[Farmerknowsbest]

Adjust the sensitivity until it doesn't. I am almost constantly playing with the header flotation controls while harvesting with our 1020 head.

@plowmaster1206 We have a 1020 head as well that kept pushin on the ends. Talked to several others and they told us to tighten up the springs a little on the outter edges. Made all the difference in the world. Will still push every once and a while but no where near what it used to.
