Care of Machinery Necessary for Safety, Especially Now HARRISBURG An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, the old saying goes, and that is especially true of safe corn picking. Farmers who go into the fields with well adjusted,and smooth running pickers , and operate them at correct speeds will hot have to make many stops, for that helps to prevent accidents from attempting to unclog the machines, says Joseph McCurdy, extension agricultural engineer at Pennsylvania State University. McCurdy urges farmers to go over their corn equipment with the help of a manufacturer’s manual: replace worn parts and make necessary adjustments for smooth operation. Snapping roller clearance of five-eighths to three-fourths inch at the bottom of the rolls is gen erally considered normal, Mc- Curdy says. This clearance should be increased for lodged corn, but decreased for picking where the stalks are wet or damp and hard to snap. McCurdy emphasizes that pick er efficiency is greatly decreased as forward speed increases. Pick er -should not be operated faster than three to four miles per hour regardless of the condition of the corn. More rapid picking increases snapping roll loses, in completely husks the com and causes excessive shelling of corn.
