Can't find it

fj, there's a video of the concave suspension in action I saw about 6 weeks ago but can't find it now, can you?

It's casually referred to here at 1:55 but there's a better, dedicated one:

LEXION combines have been using a very reliable hydraulically adjusted concave with overload protection since being introduced in '97. It's standard on all models.

True, but the focus of this setup is not overload protection but to isolate the rumbling and vibration of the obvious erratic feeding axial machines endure.
I've watch my concave meter, it takes a good wad to move the concave 2 mm, 1 mm is even rare.

The Deere setup is a different intention with the amount of rock and roll shown in the above vid.

Combing the few days with the s690s in dry wheat conditions, there is always time when you wish you had more, even at 600 plus hp...

Likely more to do with efficient threshing design than big power on the 780 but I don't wish for more power over 1% of the time, something I can easily live with.
Would it be more productive if it had more?
Probably.
Given the productivity available anyway, I just don't care.

 

[Don Boles]

Did anybody else run the 2015 model yet?

No.
But do I have the test for it!
Late seeded, standing, green straw canola crap.
As my uncle used to say that will tell you where the bear **** in the buckbrush!

Never really did understand what that meant but the expression always surrounded some crappy, adverse situation.

 

[Don Boles]

The version I have heard was in buckwheat lol

Either way.

 

[Don Boles]

Demo days are here again!

I don't get all this chatter about high returns, if it is high and it isn't a high load of clean grain it's not a cleaning problem, it's a threshing problem.

Can't fix a threshing problem with cleaning, it's too late.

Anyway, where's the 2015 S690 for my WFCC?

 

[Don Boles]

I am drawing the line at poke a dots.

Hmm, I would have guessed line drawing at pink.
Avon calling!

 

[Don Boles]

I'm done posting here.

That's too bad.

You seem to polarize opinion, make people think, sure, biased, but so what?
Buried and lost in all that is all the help you have given others with issues.

I don't know nor do I want to know whose been PM ing you, I can only tell everyone who wasn't.

I wouldn't want to belong to a forum where I was receiving "hate" mail either, in as much as most of this was fun that would quickly kill it.

Thanks B.
I wish you all the best.

Where is the moderators?? Do they like this nonsense or do they turn a blind eye ?

Hey, that would (in part) be me and I see nothing in the text of this thread that would bring on fj's reaction.

Note that he stated PM's were the reason he was leaving as some were hateful. Couldn't blame him.
But Private Messages are just that, private, mods have no access to them anymore than you have access to other's PM's.
That shouldn't and won't change.

As to poster's text, you must believe in censorship more than I do.

 

[Don Boles]

Let a mod know if you are get a hate PM!

Some of you have sent me some kind PMs, thank you.

I would have expected that.
I didn't but you have my support on the hate PM's fj.
If it happens again fj forward it to me.
The rules have changed, mods can ban anyone but another mod, used to be a thirty day limit, that's gone.
I found that one by trying to ban myself.
Consider yourselves warned.

Glad to hear you'll be sticking around FJ More than once I've typed up a response to a thread only to hit the delete button and move on.

You too eh?
Sometimes I'll type up some rant, walk away, open a new window, modify or leave it and post, or not, or delete the previous days rant altogether.
Such is life.

you cannot pull a rotor in 4-5 hours. you would be lucky to get the accelerator out in 4-5 hours.

Well...
If you've done it enough...
