If its on chop straw ,it tends to block up ,,baled stubbles will be ok .
We had some heavy land that tended to stick so removing the skimmers made it easier to push everything through ,,didnt matter if it looked abit hairy as long as it folded the beens in
I think its to do with your heavy land, skimmers really help bury chopped straw here.
