Combines Finished harvest love CDF

I'd suggest to your neighbors with low power to replace fuel rail pressure sender even if Cummins says it checks good on their laptop. Cummins can also set M11 pump to new specs which I believe improves torque curve and bumps hp to 350. I'd say if they don't enjoy better fuel economy then they need to look into why machine is pulling so heavy. I see many machines that come into our area that have or had discharge beater in place of chopper. They have flat edge of discharge beater paddle outward. This will kill a machine in our area so we have to run knotched edge out. Oh and I have one more question for you. Is your R60 a P3 equiped machine and is your St. John rotor a six bar with sweepsIJ Sorry I quess that was two more questions. Thanks alot

Well we finally got back to corn today, was getting to think we would never get those beans done. Anyway tried setting the cylinder speed up to about 370, any faster then that and it seems to make it worse, i tried running the cylinder at about .75 concave clearance and had a really broken up mess of cob again, opened the concave to .85 even almost.90 and we have a pretty nice sample, i have the top sieve set at around 5.5 and the bottom chaffer at 4.5 and we are still getting a little corn wanting to come over the back end, heavy corn at around 24% and close to 200 bpa, anything else we can try that would make it even better, thanks for all your replies. I have already adjusted the wedge in the concave at the back in the engine compartment, running around the mid and about 8 i believe.

R-60 is a P1 machine. It has had the complete hyper as far as I know (except for reverse bars). Cage modifications include: double stacked helicals on thresher side (green stem kit too),sep. grate welded in by Hyper himself, and channel helicals in sep side. Yes St. Johns rotor was six bar (P3 bars) with sweeps. St. Johns rotor appears to have greatly reduced soybean cracking vs. standard 8 bar rotor with P1 bars; even at comparable cylinder speeds. We've never seen this few splits with this combine. Our R-72 has always been much better than the R-60.

1. low wire concave with half wires removed. 2. Have never tried steep pitch helicals. 3. Yes every other wire out of sep. grate. Have not raised wires. 4. Yes we were "still" running reversers with old set-up (no matter what we tried we had rotor loss with-out them in corn). With CDF we had four reverse bars as well. Two in row next to disharge and one in each row over concave.

An R-series Gleaner can be set so fine that a fellow will have a hard time finding one bb of milo.
