We currently have a 2020 flex header that works quite well for peas and soybeans. However in heavy wheat with the cutter bar locked rigid, we have a lot of feeding problems. Wheat tends to wrap around the drum and cause all sorts of flow problems. We've adjusted the stripper bars to their extremes (closest on the outside, farthest away on the inside but it still rubs!) but still have problems. So we've determined that the 2020 header is just not up to the task.
Instead we're looking at the CaseIH 2162 flex draper, made by macdon. Has anyone got any experience using this header on peas? Does it divide the vines alright? How does it work in general?
