same as last year,I have peas going over with the straw,how can I stop this,I shouldnt have to go 3 mph,concave on 12, 480 rotor.900 wind.9870JD with 35ft FD70, could my rotor be too fast and carrying them over, I tried slower and it seemed worse.

what concaves are you using? Do the peas fit through the concave? I have never even worried about your problem. I do have shatter from the reel or pods just popping open and dropping them on the ground. I have not had loss from the combine. How do you know it is rotor loss? When peas are ripe they are the easiest thrashing crop I have cut. I have ran into problems with pods in the tank but that is different.

Usually we run into cracking if we don’t keep the rotor full or if moisture gets down below 12. 15-20 is just right for our bins. Need the speed for centripetal force.

Those yields are quite a bit better than the 45 we had in central ND. We had a 60bu stand that didn’t fill.
