“Power-Stall” Problem Diagnosis (Quick Stop)
Problems with internal components are difficult to analyze.
If you’re losing grain at the separator, you may want to use the
“power-stall” diagnostic method.
• The “power-stall” uses an approved method of stopping the
separator quickly while harvesting
• By preventing the separator from emptying, as would be the
case in a normal shutdown, this procedure allows inspection
of the inside of the combine as if it were in operation
(see
figure 26.1)
• There will be some major differences between the conditions
observed and those that exist during operation. Even with
these obvious limitations, the procedure can be an extremely
useful diagnostic “tool.”
• See the Operator’s Manual under the heading “Quick Stop”
problem Diagnosis for a description of the procedure
Additional Combine Performance and Reliability
Residue Management
Larger combines, bigger headers, and higher yielding crops
means a high volume of material is flowing from the back of
your combine. The need to distribute residue evenly is crucial.
Uneven soil drying and warming, and excess residue cover can
restrict the emergence of the next crop.
• Curved straw and chaff spreader bats “throw” residue further
from the center of the spreader, allowing for wider coverage
(see figure 26.2)
• Bats can be set in three different positions to vary distribution
depending on the crop and field conditions
• Curved bats can be installed on earlier models of Axial-Flow
combines, as well as later combines that were not shipped
with them as a factory-installed option
An externally adjustable straw chopper that became standard
equipment on 2001 model machines can also be retrofitted to
earlier models of Axial-Flow combines
(see figure 26.3).
• Longer knives improve crop material cutting
• Spreader kits include two pulley diameters (8" and 10")
mounted on the same hub that allow a quick change of
speeds for the spreader, based on crop and residue conditions
and header height
See your Case IH dealer for curved bat or adjustable straw
chopper retrofit kits.
