Anyone find a solution to the short augers on the new 20 series combines? Ours is the longest available through CIH at 24'. We have a 45' Case draper header, always unload on the go, and need 28' to make it work.
Here's how the math works: 45/2=22.5, 22.5+1=23.5, 23.5+2=25.5 Half the header width plus a foot for the header end plus 2 feet for the grain cart tire means we need 26' if we rub the header every time.
The Stewart Steel Extender gives us about 26', which is perfect for Case's 36' draper. We ordered a 3' extension for the main part of the auger, but the local mechanic says the rest of the auger can't handle it and will break. The salesman says Case has no answers and the regional Case guy is unable to help.
