Page 16: Helpful Corn Head Settings And Adjustments
A properly adjusted corn head angle is critical to its performance. For optimum performance and to retain Calmer’s warranty on parts, the corn head angle MUST be set between 23-25 degrees in standing corn and 20 degrees in down/lodged corn. - Page 17 Reducing Ear Toss: 1. For minimal ear toss, the feeder house chain must be running at maximum speed. Adjust the corn head speed to conditions in the transmission or in the oil bath. 2. Cross auger should be horizontally adjusted rearward, as close to the feeder house chain and rear stripper/stripping tunnel as possible.
