Do you have 3 straight bars on at the back of the rotor for corn this will stop rotor loss and you can still combine bean with them in. I am in 145bpa corn 6 row head at 4 to 4.5 mph no loss to speak of at all.
Pulling wires will help. QuestionIJ What position are the transport vanes in. Have you tried moving them to the slow positionIJ Fixed my problems in a 2188 specialty rotor with Gordon bars and green milo leaves. My .02 for what it's worth.
The Gordon bars do seem to help. The specialty rotor is extremely agressive at moving material down the rotor. Not suprising as that is what it was designed for. The Gordon bars help shake or retard the material as it moves down the rotor concave area much the same as the straight separator bars are designed to do. Would like to get my hands on the new AFX rotor. From what I have heard for people who were around it this year in green crop harvesting it really performed way above the specialty rotor.
you are not threshing hard enough. speed rotor up a little , your speed of rotor would be about right if it was 14 ro 15 %. nake sure y our concave is zeroed out also. slowing vanes down will help thrash, the rest you are talking about is for separating.
When you are talking about vanes in your previous message, were you referring to the concave vanes or the grate vanesIJ I am going to speed the rotor up as you suggested. I am also going to take out every other concave wire in the first 2 concaves to let the material through. I am not going to change the vanes unless I have to. Thanks for the advice.
