So, about 5 acres from finishing this year's harvest, I've gone and seized the drum up on the combine as there appears to have been too much crop going through it for it to cope, which is surprising in itself as it wasn't a thick crop, not too weedy, and it's a narrow header.
Is there an easy way of unblocking it? I've been lying on my front under the cab with my arms in the drum via the stone trap door trying to pull everything out, but it's jammed in there good and proper. Does anyone have any tips on getting it out - access is really bloody awful?
The straw etc. is caught under the drum in thick wodges that don't want to pull out. Is it just a case of brute force and ignorance?
Actually I just thought - would opening up the concave release the pressure on it?
Grateful as ever for other' experiences / opinions on this sort of thing.
