Some that we got into had alot of green stems. They were pulling pretty hard. The beans we have cut are really good,only about 250 acres,I think its going to be down hill from here on the yeilds. Should be back up on 33 this weekend. IG
How do you have your A 85 set. We started with our 85 today and we are having a lot of loss off the sieves. Thinking that the rotor is to aggressive and sending to much matieral down on the chaffer. Wondering if you have seen this or not.
Yes our Macdon was amazing today as well. Flex headers are obsolete as far as I am concerned. Now I just need to get the combine figured out. Its losing to many beans off the chaffer.
Ran my R75 with the feed floor add on for the first time with my MacDon 36 ft. What a machine! 4.5 mph in 55 bushel beans with autosteer. Kind of makes combining beans fun!
Its Agco's system. Bought it last year. They just now got it installed. Had a few "bugs" to work out. I've only used it in soybeans. Wish you could turn the autosteer on_off on the task controller screen.
I moved over into soybeans yesterday. I let the machine set itself per its own settings in the touchscreen and its pretty close right out of the box. Running a 35 foot flex in 50-55 bu beans I can run upwards of 5.5-6mph. The only problems I had was slugging the throat with a few green spots. I can say that a 35 foot head isn't enough for beans. A 40' would be a better fit for its capacity.
Thats what I have found also riceman. I had the Agco Tech out the first day. He said to keep lowering the cylinder speed as the beans get drier. We have alot of green in our beans yet. Where they are dry we can run close to 5. When they are green stems we run 3.5 to 3.8. I turned the air up and opened the back just a little thinking I would have more capacity. IG
