Having problems setting this beast in canola. Sieve loss is small but rotor loss is excessive. Tryed rotor speed from 340-700, concave 3 to 23. Anybody have suggestions. Thanks

How are you determining that it is rotor loss? It is not common to have rotor loss in canola.

We spread the chaff, nd open the back door, and caught the rotor windrow in a 1by2ft pan. We,ve never had rotor loss with our 2388,s . This is a small tube rotor, I'm wondering if thats the difference.

are you sending too much around return side??? its happned to me on 1688

 

[bussard]

ours were concave open, rotor 650, fan 670, pre 2, upper 7, lower 6

Here is my sweet settings for dry canola on 8010. 660 rotor,9.2 concave, 740 fan, 11 top sieve, 6 bottom, 2nd notch pre-sieve. 6-7 mph on 50 bu/acre canola.

well i set our 9120 like this: concave 40, rotor 1050, fan 750, precleaner closed, top sieve 17 bottom 14. but we switched concaves around which made a big difference. put large wire or slotted concaves in the front on both sides, then smallwire behind them, and back to largewire in the back 2 sections, because most of the thrashing is done in the feederhouse

Well this is some canola harvest with 7010 ST rotor:

Hope it will help

P.S Concave settings:
L R
SW SW
LW SW
RB RB
Sloted Sloted

Hi
Would like to get back to this subject. Actually canola seatings was causing for us a biggest trouble so far. In canola we used to get the biggest losses. To be honest other combines (NH CX ) are leaving some thing like 2% on field as well. We harvesting 3-5t/h (depends on the season). More ideas on the subject more possibilities. So lets share experience
