ORTANT: Set chaffer to achieve acceptable grain bin sample.
Opening chaffer can be done anytime. However, due to the nature of the
electronics, closing the chaffer should be done at the end of the field
after cleanout by completely opening and then closing to the lower
number that you desire and then adjusting up to the desired chaffer
setting.
• Feed chains at slow speed for co
rn.
Initial Header & Header Drive Setup
• Variable speed header drive hose and coupler should be connected.
• Right-h
and pivot drive belt positioned on small countershaft drive
sheave.
Tips
• Use round end corn chaffer for higher moisture corn.
• Use g
rain chaffer for drier corn. This is also useful when frequently
switching between corn and soybean harvest.
• Removal of lower sieve will increase c
apacity in higher yielding, high
moisture corn.
• In hi
gh moisture corn with wet green leaves, start at 350 RPM to optimize
performance and eliminate any chance for plugging of processor with crop
residue which could result in rotor loss. Increase in 20 RPM increments up
to a maximum of 400 RPM in these wet green leaves for desired
performance.
