Slowing down, adding risers and curtains should all help. Slowing down, of course puts less material on the walkers allowing them to work better. Risers and curtains keeps it there longer so they have more of a chance to separate the grain. You might try closing the concave some as this will force more of the grain directly to the sieve. Removing every other wire from the concave will help this too. You might even check the pans on the walkers to make sure that they are clean and aren't plugged up with chaff or straw. We found a couple of our walkers had some buildup in them last year. Hope this helps.

Saving wheat with a Deere is the simplest harvesting solution if you would only check your cylinder bars and concaves. Have you ever pulled the back of your concaves up tight with the drawbolts on each side and made sure they are levelIJ Are your concaves so shot they are bellied outIJ Are your bars an old set of gummersIJ Risers are for corn and a solution only a desperate rookie would think of! Do your threshing at the front, get the wheat down on the separator where it belongs, turn the wind up and cut wheat, for Pete's sake. Sheesh!
