We had to rig up our 1688 in a way that we wouldn't crush the nightshade berries we had in our Great Northern beans. Countless different methods to combine the beans (tough/dry/frozen/with dew) had no effect on the 20%+ dirt tag we were getting. One thing we noticed though, the dirt tag under the right conditions (dry an warm) was acceptable (<5%) until the incline auger and the unloading system. That's where we seemed to have the berries crush and turn my nice white beans in a stickey brown mess. So we rigged up one of our potato conveyors on the side of the combine to avoid the whole problem areas in the combine. Ah, what a person wants to do to get those $ 0.35/lbs beans
