I think we died and went to heaven

Tried one out a few years ago - just in wheat though , but I can buy 2 35 ft 8200's for the price of one Dynaflex or MacDon.
An easy fix on the header/auger noise - Take out the the top stripper plate behind auger and replace with a poly strip 2 in wide with a 45 deg angle in front. Run it tight to flighting and noise will be gone, no more wrapping and the auger no longer flex's and bangs away.
We did this about 5 years ago - the Agco boys were out took pics then disappeared.
All the have to do install a full length 1/4in or thicker poly strip on each side and those heads would run smooth and quiet. That metal on metal with an unbalanced table auger is stupid in the first place IMO

J d green do the 635 have a quik kut type bar?

furrowtickler,

About the stripper. My header could use this poly upgrade also. How thick is your poly stripper? Supplier? Why the 45 degree angle?

Our peas are in the bin. Yield was 10% above our long term average - lucky us. Hope the rest of our crops do the same.

Thanks furrow. I think they either did or are dicontinuiing the 8200. Ours is finely tuned and ran well this year. Can you post a picture of the poly. Where did you get the stuff you used and is it wearing okay?

I see. And when is your viagra vitality blue pill company going to take it. Its all contracted. Off combine. Normally peas move here first. No pea movementis all bad.

The poly strip is just a cover on the Knife gaurds Agco uses when shipping swather/combine headers from the Heston plant. Go to any Agco dealer - they throw them out as scrap. You have to look at them and use your imagination on how to cut them to fit , but they work sweet. Flat 2 in and the 45 about 1 in. We actualy just used self taping screws to install them rather than measure and drill to match existing holes where the metal stripper bar was.
I will take pics and send to Klause if he does not mind posting them. They are about 1/8 in black poly - very tough. I think you can only get about 10 ft strips out of them that are useful for what we did - we pieced it in sections. A full length would be better. The first header we did still has original poly on most of it - 5 years.
The 45 deg angle is the key to doing it - when bolted on, it matches perfect with the angle of the auger flighting pointed down - the pics will tell the tail for you.
Also no more wrapping in wheat - the angled poly keeps everything down under the back of flighting to feeder house.

Of you lighten up the adapter float on a D50 it will cut like a beauty if you run with auto height.5" peas were the one standing good this year.
