Combines Keeping corn in combine when going across sloping fieldsIJ

[John_W]

About the only thing you can do short of installing a leveler on the combine is to install hillside divider fins on the chaffer to try to keep the grain_corn from going to the downhill side. And slow down. All reciprocating seives are hit with the same club, when you get on a side slope gravity takes over and all the grain goes to the low side. And it does not take much of a slope for this too happen. Does not effect the rotor, but the shoe in your AF is just like any other shoe. Hillco used to make pressure blowers that blew extra air in on the downhill side, but they don't make them any more. They may have one sticking around but I have my doubts. I am afraid this is just another cost_problem of farming sloping ground.

you will have to slow down. try about half of your speed. It all depends on how bad the slope is and how much corn is on the shoe. All shoes have the same corner when you get on steep place and the stuff inevetibly will move to the low side. gs
