Combines 1480 in beans

Do you mean soybeans or edible beansIJ Edible beans are a bear to thresh, because of the vines tending to tangle up and not move out of the cage. Soybeans are generally not quite as rough, but heavy crops can be a handful. If you have enough acreage to justify it, your Case dealer should be able to get you a set of edible bean concaves (ballpark price $1200.) These smooth-bore concaves (look like a set of smooth slotted rear grates) work wonders in viney crops. You gotta see it to believe it. All of our customers who bought these concaves went from average of 1.5 MPH in windrowed edible beans_blackeyed peas (the very worst viney crop) to average 3 MPH. The ones who have specialty rotors did even better. I also recommend puttting in a set of heavy-duty 3_16" stainless steel transition cone and rotor cage transition vanes, if you have serious vines.

If you have a standard rotor remove the six individual bars between the bars of the spiral on the rotor. This will greatly reduce the rumble and shaking as beans tend to hesitate in their movement thru the rotor. It just gets them thru quicker. Also take a look at the Estes Mfg. Disrupters they have reduced roping in the separating area. Beyond this check that your crop moves sideways on the front auger as soon as it is cut. Any hesitation here causes piling and similar results. Front auger flighting must have a good square front edge and the spiral of the flighting must be no less than perpendicular to the auger tube. Hope this helps

If it is not use a grinder to square the edge and readjust the height of the auger to spec. in the manual. Also be sure to run the reel at the proper height and distance. Good feeding should cause the crop to stretch out in the machine as it accelerates to about 40 mph at the rotor anything that you find that causes hesitation will reduce capacity. Hope this helps

Have you checked the vains above the rotorIJ If they

By the fact that you have 4 impeller ear mounts I'd guess that you have a standard rotor. The suggestion below about removing the straight rotor bars from between the spiral rows is a good one, as long as you're threshing all of the pods.
