Combines R6 Operation Question

[John]

Don't worry, my late model N6 runs that way all the time in soybeans and the sickle and green stems are what is the limiting factor there. When I switch to corn, the gauge is much more active. And it likes 180+bpa corn at 6-7 mph with a 6r30 to stay in the green section. Depending on the crop, the head width and the ground speed all effect the gauge. The N_R6-62 is very hard to overload in the rotor. Remember you are feeding one of the hungriest combines on the market for over 20 years. The N_R 6 and 7 share the same internals, only the hopper capacity and engine size are different.

Was pacer calibrated to watch cylinder loss, shoe loss, or totalIJ You see most of the time the setting for watching one or the other will vary greatly (especially cylinder loss). The cylinder loss pad it located where there is a lot of stuff flying around and it is not allways grain. The better the machine is set up to flow straw the less garbage will be hitting senser pad (hyperize). Some have moved sensor forward or to the left to get it to better monitor the crops or conditions he is in. Remember you need to set needle in green with the set point and range knobs when you have checked your job and are running your average speed in average place in field. Once you have set pacer in a particular crop you will get a good feeling for where it should be set and get a better idea why needle runs over to yellow or red.
