07 8010 with updated grain saver on end of the auger is worthless!! I have never seen soo much grain run out after the auger is shut off. Is anyone else having this problem and if so what is the remedy? Other than that the machine is a joy to run as I'm still figuring things out everyday.

My 07 7010 does the same thing. I thought there was an update ?

 

[stxryan]

Mine was updated this summer! I can't believe somebody can't figure this out. Theses augers have dribbled corn for years and it seems they get worse with every model change.

I think the update on the grain saver works. The grain that is spilled/dumped out is from the poor design on the angle of the spout. The grain sits up in there and empties out as you return the auger to its saddle. Word is the engineers forgot to redesign a fix for this.

buy the one form calmar, it works great

 

[stxryan]

I have to disagree. Our grain is dribbling out between the door and the tube where the piece of rubber molding is glued to the auger. I am combining beans and if you can not empty the auger clear out the beans will dribble out like crazy!!I'm going to look into this more this morning as it has rained here . Just frustrating to me that we pay soo much for machinery anymore and we have the same problems reering there ugly head over and over. I mean really does anyone test this stuff!!!
I had to vent a bit, feel much better now!

But, but, I thought engineers knew everything.

Just kidding if there are any engineers out there. The friends of mine that are engineers are perfectionists and always have to have every little nagging detail. "Rig it up to make it run until we have time to fix it." is not in their vocabulary. Sorry, I couldn't pass up a shot to poke a little fun at y'all.

Design changed on later 2008 models and update for early 2008 and 2007 models is out. I agree with your comments on the 2007 design.

The calmar spout has no effect on the anti dribble door. When you install the Calmar spout the origonal anti dribble stays in place. I agree the 2008 anit drible update sucks big time.

We have a 2008 8010 which was just built in July, so it most likely has the newest version of the grain saver on it.

All, I can say is that we are VERY happy with how it works. When you shut the auger off, a little grain will dribble out for about 5 seconds, but then it stops and seems to keep the grain in really well.

i put the calmar on and did some mods to the 07 model grain saver and i loose nothing. i had one heck of a time to get it put back in the calmar boot

 

[ross7010]

So has any one found out a good fix for the grain saver door yet? Any help would be good.

 

[casefarmer]

what is the deal with the boot on the end of the auger? why not something simple like the 2588's

just curious..

 

[farmerleach]

I don't think engineers understand simple.

 

[parts]

The boot is nice if you have a 30 foot or bigger head on since it throws the grain 3' more. The saver door or flap is not so good. I was hoping that some one came up with an idea that would make that work.

after alot of complaining on our 08 7010 a company guy came out with one he got from JD (greenpaint and all) he removed the door and put it on and problem solved. wished we had the boot from the 07 as the hole was not as open at the top which would help a little splash on top side when auger is running.

 

[caseihag]

On our 07 7010 we started off removing the height adjusting bolt and didn't notice much change. We have not taken the time to do this but the next step is to remove the door completely and from what I hear by doing this all you have to do is shake the auger a little when done dumping. So yes we have the same problem!

 

[cyfarmer]

Several changes are in store for next year, I think. I've seen at least one major one this fall that is a MAJOR help in this problem area. While it may be somewhat complicated (engineering wise) it's pretty sweet in action.

 

[keeshag]

The grain saver update is worthless. To much grain is lost especially in windy conditions. The update was installed this past winter, it too was no good. We removed it and replaced it with a 5 gallon pail cut in-half. We bolted that to the end, painted it black and no more problems. Hopefully the 9120 has this problem fixed.

 

[casefarmer]

cy farmer how did they fix it go back to the Case IH 2388's style end and grain saver that actually works....not the CNH type..
