High-Moisture and Dry Corn Flow Chart
NOTE:
This flow chart is a basic adjustment guide only. Some crop varieties and conditions may require deviation from the suggested guide. It is important that you perform one step (adjustment) at a time.
Step One - Initial Settings
Set combine to the following settings:
Precleaner |
3 turns |
Chaffer |
16 |
Chaffer Extension |
12 |
Sieve |
11 |
Fan Speed |
1400-1450 rpm |
Cylinder Speed |
300-330 rpm |
Concave: Before setting concave first determine average cob type for the field being harvested. |
Rubbery/spongy cob, set concave |
38-40 |
Hard/firm cob, set concave |
50-55 (full open) |
NOTE:
These recommended settings will provide optimum performance in many conditions.
Run combine through crop at acceptable speed until separator is completely full (residue is coming out of chopper/spreader). Quickly pull multi-function (hydro) handle to neutral position while shutting off the separator under full load and idle down immediately. Let engine idle 30 seconds, then shut off.
If further adjustment is required, go to
