Combines hope this works

My dealers salesman ran axial flows for years when he was farming, and he advised leaving the front concave section wires alone, and pull every other wire from the remaining two for both corn and beans which I did. Most of the shelling is done in the first section of concave. The others shell too, yet are open more than the first one, and that way they can give up the crop to the auger bed. Works for me.

i read on this site to pull them in all three.why notIJ will i get cobs in the sampleIJ

I have every other wire pulled on all three concaves on both of my 2388s and I cut corn, soybeans, and milo that way. As far as I'm concerned that is the only way to do it.

Unit 2 Yes, on a previous machine I used, it came with wires pulled on all three like you say. The next machine had all wires in and silk would plug the concave in some varieties of corn no matter how closed the concaves were. That's when I pulled the wire on the second and third concaves to clear up the plugging condition. There are also concave extensions on this current combine. The combination of those, plus all wires in on front, gives me a better sample in soys than the other way. No complaint in corn. I don't currently see a need to pull any more wires at this time.(not that it would hurt anything).

You mentioned that you were pulling wires from your worn out concaves to do corn. Be careful. Those worn out edges on these concaves might cause more harm than good. I put Estes rebuilt concaves in this year and have never had such an easy time getting the machine to thresh with a very good sample.

whats the difference between wore out concaves and round bar concavesIJ arent they recommended for corn alsoIJ i guess that is where i got the idea to use the old ones. i guess well see if it stops raining. i may be regretting it.
