This fall I was riding in my friends new to him JD combine with 12 row SPLIT FLEX corn head. He farms near Red Oak Iowa, and wanted a wide corn head that would flex around his terraces. The head has 5 ground height sensors and the cylinders are on top of the header, so from the cab you can see them constantly adjusting! About 4pm that afternoon he had to stop and call technical assistance. When he would press down, the header would go up! When he turned it to manual it would go down, but he did not run it like that. Called the outfit that split it-no answer. He then called his JD technician directly, and I heard him comment that all 5 sensors were still there-but as he said that I noticed that a corn stalk had wrapped around the snout right at the sensor, telling the computer it was as far down as possible. I climbed down and unwrapped the stalk, got back in to suggest he try it. Problem was the tech had him so deep into the computer system that it took him 5 minutes to get out of it so he could try it! Sure and shooting, that stalk had shut him down as quick as a blown engine would have!
