Hi there,
in follow up of the 7010 / 8010 thread I was wondering why so many people like to drive so fast with their combine. Here in Germany we usually go 3 mph in small grains. Less if it is tough going. Now in NA people like to go at least 5 mph. Not even talking about the crazy ozzies. They are going even faster.
Ok, if the crop is light go fast, but how about buying a bigger header? I always feel like it easier on the combine to drive slow. Plus the header follows the ground nicer.
Any certain reasons for driving fast?
The feeling to get something done? In the end it shouldn't matter if you go fast with a small header or go slow with a large one. Right?
Hope you can come up with a good answer.
Thanks
