We’re seeing a 3.2% rise in mill rejections this month (mostly sweep and over-length beyond ±2 inches trim) and average turn time creeping past 2 hours on the East Ridge route. What landing adjustments have kept loads within spec without slowing production?
the “±2 inches trim” bites us too — what helped was re‑calibrating the head length wheel every Monday/rain day and zip‑tying a 16’/32’ go/no‑go stick to the loader heel so the butt hits the mark without a tape… On East Ridge we painted two length lanes and pre‑staged, which cut turn time about 15 minutes without slowing the processor. @Lena, is the sweep coming from one patch — if yes, try loading crown‑up and heel‑dogging before the last trim.
Short-sort sweepy stems and paint a “±2 inches trim” bunk mark — kept East Ridge turns under 2 hours.
