Deadeye - we have never used filler strips for oats. Since switching to rotaries, we have not had any trouble getting oats out of the heads, even if they're not perfectly ripe. I'd keep the strips out to aid separation at the concave and possibly reduce rotor loss by straw carrying oats out. Get rid of any reverse bars you might have if you're baling the straw - we get long straw from our 52 that looks like it's from a conventional. Good luck!
