One thing I have noticed with my picker is you need to run your ground speed the same speed as the gathering chains in most conditions. If you do not and you get slightly off the row the chains can snap off the corn causing it to lay down on the snapping rolls, not go through the rolls, and plug up the head. These pickers were designed for 100 bushel corn so running slow is nessecary but running too slow can also cause you problems.
In tall, strong, heavy corn it seems to work better for me to hold the picker up a little higher than normal so the picker does not have to push so much stalk through the rollers. This only works of course if are not trying to pickup stalks with the snoots.
Like the other guys have said keep your hands out of the picker when its running. It moves a lot faster than you can think to let go of a stalk.
