I need advice on how to get more performance out of my machine. Here's the scenario.
I'm in a 2166 running a 22.5' 1020, 3" knife, bin extensions, 4wd and 30.5L32's machine is in really good shape, and working well. Concaves at about 2.5-3, rotor at 800 rpm, fan at 1100, chopper on low speed, knives removed.
We are doing beans in the 40 bushel range. They are threshing easily, sample is clean with a small amount of empty pods.
My buddy is running a '99 9410 with a new 622 hydraflex, 1.5" knife, 2wd, no bin extensions.
Now, i should be able to out do him i think. I have 45hp on him, plus my bin is far bigger. He unloads a lot.
Its all i can do to keep up with him. My acre counter tells me i can only do half the field if i push like hell, and he runs into trouble.
What do i have to do to pull ahead of him?
