Marv, I know exactly where you are coming from. We had the same thing happening with our 91' R-70 while the 89' R-70 was doing such an excellent job that you could hardly even find a milo seed. The main difference is that the P-1 processor allows the leafy milo to fluff and release the grain throughout the cage. Whereas, the later model R-70 having the P-3 processor having the narrow spaced bars was too agressive. After several attempts of changes in the settings such as slowing down the rotor to 750 rpms loaded we still were not having much luck. Then we contacted John Keller with Gleaner and he had told us to try the peg bars, as it was working well with the custom crews harvesting green leafy milo in south Texas. Basically, they are the same width as a cylinder bar, having metal pegs every inch. Anyway, to remedy your problem remove 2 bars on the last row of the rotor. Then be sure and remove 2 bars oppossite of each other in order to maintain rotor balance. These can be installed without removing the rotor, simply by removing the left rotor door from engine compartment. Then remove the cage section on the left side rear section of rotor. Once, you have completed this your milo loss will be greatly reduced to almost nill. The peg bars simply pull the green leaves of the milo away thus allowing the grain to seperate out of the cage. As Tom mentioned in the post below there are many simple upgrades on this page to better enchance combine performance. I also forgot to mention about pulling out all of the wires on your seperator grate located on the bottom left hand side of rotor from engine compartment. Then you install 2 perforated cage plates. The peg bars and cage plates can be obtained through Gleaner or lowen, or you could talk to John Keller at (620) 327-5726 in Hesston, Kansas.
