I have a question on the new series of case IH combines. The 5088, 6088, and 7088 all have a new feeder house chain tensioning system that might cause problem. The draper manual says that you need to have your feeder house in the corn position to feed properly, and we can attest to this because it would not feed at all in the middle position with the type of soybeans that we harvest. The case combine guru told us that we had to tension the feeder house chain so that it was an 1/8 inch off the bottom to feed the best in the corn position.
How can we do that in the new series since it uses spring tensioning. I also don't like the idea of spring tensioning much. We never skipped a feeder house chain until we operated the 670 challenger which had a spring tensioned feeder chain. I have also read on the internet in searches that people are having this same problem in the new series of case combines, just not to the same degree.
