Steel Strips Stop Wear On Poly Combine Snouts
If you've got holes in your combine snouts from where corn has rubbed through, you might want to try these new stainless steel wear strips from Clarke Machine.
  They're for Case-IH 1000, Deere 90 or NH 98C series poly row dividers and fit onto the combine's hood and snout.
  Made of 18 ga. stainless steel, they're laser cut and bent to fit each model. They attach into the poly with self-tapping screws. The size of the strips depends on the combine.
   "The major manufacturers of poly corn heads don't put wear strips on their row dividers. Consequently, after some years of service the snouts start to wear through because of stalks rubbing against them. The hood or back portion of the row divider wears through because that's where the ears of corn strike as they're stripped from the stalk," Jim Huls, an engineer, says.
  Snout Wear Strips for Deere sell for $36 a pair, Case IH are $29 a pair. Back (hood) Wear Strips are $34 a pair for Deere, Case IH 2200 and New Holland 98C and $29 a pair for Case IH 1000 plus S&H.
