Deere grain tank unloading slides position

[darrenjlobb]

Hi Guys,

Just wondered what position other people run there slides on the cross augers in the grain tank in? Cutting mainly wheat / barley, can sometimes get on the damp side.... Have always had mine at last half way shut down to be on the safe side, but noticed several other machines seem to run them all wide open, both sides right across the tank, and assume don't have issues?

Just wondering what other people do and if anyone on here has had problems with running them to far open and jamming / breaking shear bolts?

This is on the W / T series machines....

Cheers

On our s680 they are closed right up, apparently it doesn’t affect unloading rate? Cheers dh

Normally a balance between bridging when it gets damp with them closed and breaking shear bolts when its damp when there to far open, but interested to know what others have them set to...
