What moisture is your corn? Do you run a chopper? If so are the stationary knives retracted? Are the separator grate spacers installed?

My experience is with a 9660STS with an 893 with knife rolls, a spreader and high rate unloading auger, in 14-16.5% irrigated corn with yields in the 200bpa. We did not have a power issue in normal running(5.5-6mph), including unloading on-the-go. It would become power limited if I pushed it to near 8mph(just to see what it would do) . I'm sure that if we were harvesting 20%+ corn and/or in soft field conditions we would have been power-limited at a lower speed.(or using a chopper)
