What do producers think about the 360 yield saver?

Question

Answer

Personally I think it did a great job the year we ran them. Especially dryland compared to our irrigated. It caught the small ears. We had abnormally strong weed pressure that year or bad control. Yield savers would plug the stalkrolls and we ended up burning up row clutches. It was very frustrating. Hard on equipment and patience. Only other issue, with the blocks in, gathering chains aren’t very aggressive pulling in ears. They will hop and slide on top of the chains. If we had a skip, sometimes you would see the big ears slide between the ear savers to the ground. Our volunteer was very minimal. Especially compared to others in the area and the ears hitting brushes instead of deckplates I think might even help with the buttshelling. Put approx 4000 acres on 12 row head equipped with the yield savers. Our operation, my vote would be to use them again especially in a year where we have more dryland corn.

Answer

We really like them, durability and wear leave something so be desires.  They last about 100 acres per row. They do a great job no question, we put ours on center 6 as we see most header loss there from feederhouse throwing kernels.  We started replacing mid year but now just run 1 set thru harvest.
