It’s understandable if putting your combine through its paces isn’t high on your to-do list right now. But between caring for your crops, putting up hay and enjoying some family time, harvest time can sneak up on us.

The success of next year’s crop starts with an efficient, timely harvest. You know you’ll likely lose a few days to weather. Any additional time you lose to breakdowns or other equipment issues only eats into the hours available to fertilize and complete the fall tillage, that’s critical to preparing an ideal seedbed for your 2021 crop. Here are several recommendations to help ensure your combine rolls through harvest with minimal interruption:

1. Take in RME’s Virtual Combine Clinic. These clinics are offered to help you get the most from your CNH combine. Here’s what you can expect:

• Learn how to set your combine and headers for peak performance

2. Schedule now a RME Pre-Harvest Inspection conducted by a factory trained technician.
3. Visit your local RME Parts Counter or the Case IH Online Part Store. You’ll be more efficient accessing the parts and supplies you need so you’re back in the field before you know it.
4. Use genuine CNH Parts or CNH remanufactured parts. Only CNH parts meet our stringent performance specs and provide the reliability the harvest season demands.
5. Consider upgrading your equipment by adding a Mud Hog® rear-wheel assist axle. These and other accessories, such as LED lighting packages, help reduce expenses and increase harvest efficiency. Contact your local RME dealer for details on installation.
6. Stick with concaves from CNH. Concaves are such a crucial wear part. Our concaves offer superior fit and durability for higher grain quality.
