What should the rotor rpm drop under steady load? Mine is dropping 100 and the engine is only dropping 50. The speed holds steady once the load is on. The wheat straw is tough and the wheat is 16-17 with patches over 20. It has been a real stuggle to get over 2.5 mph with a 25' head in 85 bu/ac wheat. It either won't feed in or I get shoe loss. I have been running the rotor anywhere from 880-1100, concave from 1.5-2.5, fan 1050-1200. Small wire concaves,15 gorden bars, keystock grates and trasport vains in slow. Any and all sugestions welcome. My thought is the vains should be put back to middle or fast to get the straw though without smashing up the heads. The staw is coming out fairly long but the heads are breaking up and causing shoe overloading and some trash in the sample. Corn sieves don't help but I'm stuck with them.
Thanks
