We always have wheat and chaff and straw laying all over the back of the machine also. I guess I've kind of quit worrying about that. I go out in the cut field and carefully clear away the straw and then get on my hands and knees and blow away the chaff so that I can actually see how many kernels of grain are actually present. Also check right behind the header for reel loss and every few feet behind the full width of the cut. It is possible to set the grain loss monitor so that the needle pegs to the right but the grain on the ground is almost nothing. To give you an example, this year in wheat we usually had between 3 and 10 kernels per square foot right behind the seperator in 50-60 bu. clean wheat. That calculates to almost nothing per acre. We usually have the shoe and the chaffer closed more than the book says. Another thing to consider is that the monitor divides the grain loss by the ground speed. Therefore, if you slow down the needle always goes to the right, even though you won't see much behind the machine. What number do you have the Meter Position knob set at when you are in the greenIJ Finally, in regards to the AirJet chaffer, I have not used one but I bet it would work really well. If you're wanting to do the best job possible it is probably the way to go.
