Combines Sieve question

I have used a bean sieve every year since I bought my own combine. In my opinion, the adjustable sieve requires too much monkeying around. It requires one setting in the AM when beans are wet and another after they dry and then you are back to the first setting when the sun goes down. After spending all day playing with the sieve there isnt any time left to cut beans. You may not get any more air to the chaffer with a bean sieve, but if this is a concern, you may be able to find the percent of open area various sieves have. The one with the highest percent of open area will give you more air. If you are looking for a clean sample with fewer pods and trash, a bean sieve wins hands down. I tried a corn sieve last year and was very impressed except the one I bought is built too heavy. I like the Gleaner bean sieve because it is light enough for one man to change it. Gleaner doesnt make a corn sieve so I bought one on the after market and am still looking for a better one.

Common bean sieve size used by a lot of farmers is the 3_8 or 7_16 holes size. Tom, did you try loewen for an aftermarketIJ let them know what you want and how much lighter you want it. They also manufacture the bean sieves.
