Combines 1460 mph in corn

I have run 1460 with 963 head for 11 years. The bottleneck for ground speed in high yielding corn is the clean grain elevator. In 150 bu corn with every other concave wire pulled, plenty open sieves, good condition and tight elevator paddle chain, and six row head, i would guess you should be able to run 4.0-4.5 with no prob. In 200+ bu i'm down to 3.0 mph. To check to see if you're overloading the clean grain system, stop halfway through your pass and let the combine clean out. If corn is solidly flowing into tank after 6-7 sec i would think you are overloading the elevator. Just my way, any other ideasIJIJIJ
