Pistil, I assume the straw chopper knives are in good condition and not rounded.Milo is not one of the crops I deal with,but I have seen conditions where soybean straw that is green and tough wants to wedge and not feed into chopper.A few things that I would try is,(1)remove v-shaped or tapered panel on the back wall of the combine just above the chopper housing.(2)remove curtain if installed.(3)And,if material still will not feed into chopper,I have removed two risers(fishbacks)from each walker so material is not fluffed up before it goes over end of walkers.Hope these ideas help.Hyper Harvest II
