Combines shoeloss

[gleanermanitoba]

Are your seals on the seives and back end cover intact, I would think if too much wind you should be throwing over over the entire width somewhat evenly, we put the steep helicals on this year and do not notice any extra loading on the left side, good luck solving the issue

Check the position of the fingers and short auger section on the distribution auger. They may tend to overload the shoe on one side by their position. I've noticed very dry soybeans tend to overload the right side of shoe because the straw overthreshes in the cage.

What position should they be inIJ Does it make a difference whether the combine is a grain or a corn_soybean machineIJ The shoe seals seem to be fine also the one under the shoe. Maybe I am not setting it right. I do set it the same as the 62 though.

What is the condition of your concaveIJAfter checking the condition of the distribution augers we check concave.Is it level,worn, and tight enoughIJ Are you threshing too much in separation area of the cage and distribution augers are overloading lH sideIJ

What is the condition of your concaveIJ After checking the distribution augers we check concave.Is it level,worn and adjusted tight enough with proper profileIJWe usually find lH losses relate to threshing in the separator area of cage.

I did install a new high wire concave last winter. I thought that I had it leveled properly how would I be able to tell and what should it be set at. If this were the problem what other symptoms would I have. I have the triangle piece over the door. Could this be causing a feeding problemIJ

I don't think it makes any difference whether its a corn_soybean or grain machine. If the shoe is overloaded on the left side I would move the auger section about 12 inches from the left side of the distribtion auger to move more material to the center of the shoe. I'd also not have any fingers on the distribuion auger shaft to the left of the auger section and have two or three sets of fingers on the right half of the shaft to move the material down through the rolls quicker. I'd also check the fan and fan choke to make sure no blades are bent or missing and that the choke is even so that is airflow is even across the width of the shoe. Good luck.

Might want to cut apron higher so chaff can spread. loss sensers are wide so even if you were chaffing it over in a localized spot you may not see it. You could move senser over to area you suspect to be bad. Check it out close when you get going again. Check notes from awhile back on shoe loss of soybeans for something there may help you out. You'll have to reduce air if you find that the problem. Stick a pencil between accelerator rolls to get a better idea of their condition. If you find it to be a chaffing problem you will need to check out shoe per that previous post awhile back. I believe there was talk there also on how to prevent excess material from coming threw seperator grate. Good luck
