Hey guys what have been your combine settings in soybeans, there are some green stems out there as well. This is my first year raising them so just looking for some pointers. Lexion 760 w/ 40 ft macdon fd70. Thanks

Do you have the tm6 sieve? I have been running anywhere from 480-620 cylinder speed with concave from 13-18mm. Rotors 100 rpm faster than cylinder with covers closed mostly. Fan 1170 and 13-16 top and 5-7 bottom. The tm6 will alow more open settings and slightly higher wind. I'm running small grain.

Thanks Mbfarmer for the settings. I still have to combine my small plot of beans as well.

Do you get a lot if splits at those higher cylinder speeds? What concave and cylinder do you have.

That is my biggest challenge with the 740 compared to axial flows.

Yes we get a few more splits but on the commercial non seed side but it doesn't really matter if we get 2-3% splits, there are no deductions for that at the elevator.

I have fought splits since this machine. All of our acres are for seed.

I would like to do a sunnybrook and clean grain elevator slow down to possibly reduce splits.

The one thing our 9120 did better than the lexion was put less splits in the tank. It did however put less beans in too. We have never been high enough to worry about but like gm we aren't growing seed beans.

Thanks mb, yeah we are using the tm6 but we will be switching over to the corn sieve once we are done with beans.

 

[seedcleaner]

Do you guys prefer tm6 or long tooth top sieve for soybeans and why?

 

[mbfarmer]

We don't run a long tooth but in beans, and every other crop other than corn, the tm6 is far superior. Much cleaner sample with way lower returns and slightly better losses. We have two with tm6 and one without. Next year all will have it.

Do you think the tm6 is as capable on hillsides with 3d for reducing grain loss?

Maybe I will be reinstalling the tm6 during our rain delay.

 

[SouthernSK]

When doing soybeans are you running the cylinder in low or high range?

Right in between.
Started in low, now high around 400 rpm.

I'm not too sure about hillsides. It will reduce returns which should reduce sieve load so it should help. Our beans this year have been on fields that are flat enough the 3d sieve has been doing a good job.
