A forage harvester owner might ask, “How can I get my harvester and corn head ready to chop?” The few hours spent inspecting and doing preventative maintenance on a pull-type or self-propelled forage harvester and its head will pay off by getting a harvester in the field quickly when the crop is ready and then minimizing expensive downtime and costly repairs during harvest.

Harvesting corn silage or haylage is one of the most time-sensitive jobs a farmer or contractor can do. When the crop is ready, you need to be ready too.
