Mike, A bean screen will help,we run them,.438 staggered round hole.A seive closed down tight or half plugged will disrupt air more than a screen. Run a wedge on your concave to better thresh those tough pods.With the screens we've found we can run a wider chaffer setting and still get cleaner beans.The pods that are left then are almost impossible to thresh.The low bars are available from hyperII at 319-698-4005.Replace your reverse bars with them.Install the F rasp concave bars on the front of the seperateing grate bolted to the rods,it'll take two to span the full width.If your running the older concave with narrow spaced rods you could remove every other rod from at least the top section.Nothing to drastic yet rightIJ.Convert you chaffer to the super chaffer so you can control the front 6-8 rows. Run them 1_4 inch wider.Count your lost beans carefully,it takes 4_sg.ft. to make a bushel_acre. Most picky harvest'ers can get total loss cutter bar,shoe,rotor down to 1_2 to 2_3 bpa. 2-3 beans_ square ft. on the average.Slug feeding can cause rotor loss,adjust the turnbuckle on the end of the header together to make sure you are cutting as low as possible.Many cutter bars are cutting in the top half of their range.Install the hose or we prefer the corner section from a tin machine shed behind the cutterbar to help flip the beans into the cross auger.Saveing more of the crop you've already raised is just good business.Useing less power to utilize more of your combine investment also makes good sense.Go for it.
