Matt,

First I would check my rasp bars (threshing section) to make sure they are not wore badly. Which helicals do you have and are they wore badly? The wedge piece is to prevent the crop wrapping around your rotor and some of the crop feeding back into the left corner of your feeder house chain ( can make it or get it from dealer). You can have a rock door without a hump kit and this kit can be purchased from your dealer but you first have to determine if you have the sump or rock door. The sump in the CIH have been a problem feeding so I can see where they could be on a Gleaner. If you have a sump you can improve this with fingers over it as well, I believe. Yes you can get back feeding between chains if it is set up wrong but is the rotor slugging from uneven feeding? I have combined all day and never use the reverser and times I have a problem it is on a corner or somewhere it has bunched at the knife. I set the blocks for both the front and back drum in the high position for soys and corn. In soys I put a spacer to stop the upward movement of the stop in the front drum so if it ever plugs it happens at the front drum. Do you have a divider in the front feeder house? Have you had trouble with your chains jumping a cog? Do you have the shocks installed? The R62's in our area are not having this problem so it has to be fixable. Later Dave
