how fast you think we can go in 150 bu. average corn with a 6 row 30 head? and how big of difference would an 8 row make?

thanks

You'll be over 5 MPH, especially if you're in dry corn. I have a neighbor that ran a 6 row head on a 2388 for a few years, and it was hard to keep the machine full. He went to an 8 row last year.

We run 6mph easily with a 6 row on the 2588 in good corn.

I would say that you can drive as fast as the head will cut it off!
We run a 8 row on our 2366 and can run about 4 in 150 bushel corn when it is good and dry.

Oh yea, you can go as fast as the header will let you. Run 8 row on our 2388's and in 200 bu. we can run 4.5 to 5 pretty easy.

so are we going to have to worry about losing corn because we wont be able to keep the machine full? maybe i'll just have to run it this fall instead of gramps...haha

If you stand the sieves up and haul #@@, keep rotor as slow as you can so it won't crack you will be alright.
