Getting broken pieces of cob in the sample. My questions are,
1. Is it possible to thresh corn gentle enough to get almost 100% whole cobs out the back with a conventional machine?
2. If so, does the rear of the concave need to be opened up? The owners manual says nothing about the rear, only how many turns to open up the front.
3. I do not have any concave block-off plates installed. Is that a must-have piece of equipment?
4. I am using a non adjustible air foil top screen (some call it a round hole screen) standard bottom screen, 1000 RPM fan speed, rasp bar cylinder. Is this common with an air-foil top screen?
I am very familiar with adjusting a combine, but had a few specific questions about corn. This is a relatively new crop for me, mostly rice, soybeans, and wheat down here.
