Combines pulling wiresIJ

I don't think you can get a real good compromise between corn and wheat with a single setup. I would consider replacing the Gorden bars with CIH Extenda-Wear specialty bars over the first concave. I think this will give you better threshing in wheat, less growling when the straw is tough, but maybe some more broken cobs in cornIJ I think I would leave the wires in the concaves and put 2 cover plates in for wheat and beans, then pull the cover plates for corn. Not too bad of the conversion that way. I assume you are running keystock grates.

We run corn, beans, milo, wheat, and rye. Currently run a 2003 Rochelle specialty rotor in a 1480 with 1480 concave and cage. Have large wire concaves with every other wire pulled, disrupters in keystock grates. Run IH specialty bars on the front and IH rice spikes in the grate area. Currently run one set of seperator bars at the front of the grate, but looking to change that for 05. Run two sets of coverplates in everything but corn, 3 sets in wheat. I feel like this setup has really helped my sample in beans compared to full wires in the large wire concaves. Too many unthreshed pods were getting through. I also like the sample better in wheat, and it really reduced rotor losses in Milo, and seems to take less HP because I can run the rotor different than I could before. In drought stressed corn I've also run 2 coverplates,and it seemed to help in getting the corn off of all the different sized cobs. I feel like this is a really good setup, especially in some of the beans that will be dry but still tough podded. Maybe there's a better setup for wheat, but we don't do that many acres of it, and it works very well for the acres we do to only have one set of concaves. Chads

laughing at you.

Making fun of you. Now go away.

Should have asked. What don't you like about the cover platesIJ Chads

Sounds like a simple machine. Sure wish I had one. NOT.

I'm praying for ya gman. Just dont know to who yet.

Ezekiel 25:17.The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shephered the weak through the valley of darkness. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

Ya I read that book too. The plot sucked. The writer was drunk, and the editor, well, the editor just was'nt having a good day I guess.

Just for the record, you won't find that quote in a bible. The King James version reads "25:17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I [am] the lORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them." However, I would consider Pulp Fiction one of the most influential movies of the 90's.
