Combines Concave setup for Stripper header

I use the large wire concaves, a stripper head, airjet chaffer, 3 cover plates, and a std rotor and it works great. Can easily cut 1100 bu_hr with nothing coming out the back. I haven't pulled every other wire but have heard it still works fine.

Sorry - I should have included that info. I have a 2388 with 28' Shelbourne and am running max air (1250-1300rpm). I have run a stripper head since 1995 and have not had any trouble with the feeder drive. Original belt on my 1998 2388. I run the concave tight and 850-950 rpm. The airjet chaffer was the single most impressive add-on that I've tried. Just push that hydro forward until you power out - that's your limit.
