Of six rocks that got in my combine the rock trap only stopped one. My old 2388 would stop 90% of them. Any ideas ? Fields are rolled but seem to pick them up going through ditches when the sickle gouges in a little. I see the 7010 trap is made different than the 2388. In my opinion a step backward. KAD

buy a massey 9795

they have one of the best rock traps plus cobine is pretty fair also

I guess my experience is just the opposite, I haven't had any rocks go through at all. It had caught them all so far and a piece of a old scoop shovel. (Old farm site, lots of goodies to pick up). Why would he want to go down a class with a massey. That would be like trading a Lexus in for a ford pinto!! Ha, Ha

What do you run your feederhouse speed ?

 

[kansascutter]

I know on corn I was running it at 650. On beans I think it was around 700, but I can't remember for sure.

kad I've had several rocks go through my 7010. Has'nt hurt the machine any yet. My rock trap has caught several, but some still get through. Our corn was stunted due to wet weather so the ears on the corn are set lower this year so we are picking up a few rocks with the corn head. My feederhouse speed is 650 as recomended by Drago.

Picking rocks with a cornhead? Dang! Must be some big rocks!
