Looks like we are giving up waiting on the canola, wheat and oats to dry down and heading over to try the beans tomorrow.

Was looking for a start point with my settings, if anyone is willing to help me out?

Thank you so much for all your help and advice

I don't have much experience in soybeans, but when we did them a couple of years ago, we just started with the computer defaults, and they worked fine.

concaves small wire in front followed by wide wire then skip wire and wide wire in rear rotor speed 600-650 to start lower as beans become drier(look for cracks in sample)concave clearance 15-18 preseive 3rd or 4th notch chaffer 12-16 start at 16 shoe sieve 9-12 start at 12 fan speed 1000-1050 rpm chopper high speed knives in these settings work for us.

On 8120.

Rotor 700
Fan 1100
Top Sieve 15
Bottom sieve 16
Presieve 4
Concave 5 if greener, 10-15 if drier. Keep tightening up until you see the odd cracked one. Cracked ones aren't dockage anyway for our market. Make sure you shell the beans out, might have to get more aggressive if not quite fit. Unshelled pods in hopper is no good, either wait to combine or clean them out.

Small wire row 1, large wire 2 and 3, slotted in row 4.

You run with the concave closed to 5? I haven't ever ran lower than 10. Will this help shell out the green pods?

Yes sometimes at 2 even.
