What's the best concave for 9870 for large yellow peas and corn?
This combine will do approx 3000 acres of wheat/barley/oats/canola and about 300 of peas and 100 of corn in southern Manitoba.
Bought 9870 with small wire concaves in it.
In the past we got away with just leaving small wire concaves in our 9750 for peas and corn. This sometimes wasn't ideal (really good peas sometimes didn't fall through) but they say small wire won't work at all for this in new combine(??)
The salesman recommended selling us 3 large wire concaves and changing them for different crops (would cost about $2500) . Also have heard of some people running a combination of large/small concaves and then just adding filler plates for wheat.
Just saw pictures of the round bar concave on the website. Would these be better?
What's the best option for us?
