no but we could start a good rumor. Sorry bout the misplaced 85 . But while on the subject, the big machines - A85 - got off to a start with lots of first year updates. I talked to the combine field guys and the updates fixed the, lets call them 'buggs'. So far no real issues on the second production run. One setting issue that has come out is to run the cylinder slower. The RPMs we are all used to, like 900+ on wheat, gives the tip speed we need. On the larger diameter rotor this tip speed happens at approx 600 rpms. Same theory will follow on other crops for this large diameter rotor. For flat landers, this is one awesome machine.

How does having a sloped floor in front of the sieve help in capacityIJ Seem like you would loose the layer of grain for the cushion effect and have more trouble blowing wheat out the back in light crop.
