Crop Settings and Configuration Recommendations

NOTE: The following settings for various crops are for average conditions. Varying crop and field conditions may require slightly different settings.

Standard 15 element configuration requires less power leading to higher capacity, less

shoe load, and less straw damage. 9 additional elements are available which can be used in very tough material handling and threshing conditions. Note: "Hi Performance Rotor Configuration" allows for 24 elements.

iFor improvement in threshing, grain tank sample, and chaff load distribution in small grain, first install concave covers in front concave. For further improvement install small wire concaves in place of large wire concaves. (Small wire concaves will work better to eliminate white caps, and in dry crops will load the cleaner less).
