Combines Harvesting milo with R62

You could do what we do to our New Holland combines. We do a kill stall. Set your combine at your normal speed and then turn the key off and stall the combine to a stop. Start the engine right back up to cool it. Then you can go and check your returns and see how much is in there. It really works and when you start the combine part back up it will take off, you don't have to worry about it being pluged. It's a good way to see how everything is loading and working. Ilnh

Vern, it doesnt sound like you have enough air. Dont think i have ever turned air down that much, bump it up a couple notches. If you really want to know what return is, open door to elevator and drive a ways. it will put a bit on the ground but you should not be running much anyway. Not much point in returning milo. Van

What problems are you haveingIJ Rotor lossIJ Shoe lossIJ Grain DamageIJ Clean SampleIJ What is your concave set atIJ What year of R-62IJ thanks d p.s. if it is good heavy milo your fan is a little to low try at least 5.5 to 6.

I have a 94 machine, chrome cage, bars and helicals, all in very good condition. Accelerator rolls next to new. Milo is weighing 63 lbs, which really surprised me considering what all our crops went through this year. It may very well be that I am not running enough air and the green material is carrying the milo over. I am not used the air blast that comes out of the rear of these machines and guess I am comparing it too our old F2 and using that for a reference. Getting a good clean sample with a little bit of stems but that's all. What grain loss I am seeing is in the swath behind the seives and that's just a kernel here and there which again may well be from carryover because of not enough air as I think about it. The machine is doing a good job and is acceptable but I think I can do better. Maybe I need to learn to adjust to the machine and not the machine to me!!! Appreciate everyone's input, thanks. Vern
