We have always been told and have always ran filler plates in positions 1, 3, & 5 in our 9660 STS in canola and cereals. Talking at the elevator yesterday and a fellow says he never runs the plates in canola.
What does everyone else do?

Take them all out for canola, concave 30, rotor 700, fan 840, chaffer 14, sieve 3. Tweek if conditions too dry. Works fine, 1% dkg. Use 4 in wheat, 0.5% dkg.

5 of my friends don't 1 does,
I think the filler plates do work!
we tried them in and got a better sample, the thing in canola you have to do is block off the pre-sieve a bit so it doesn't overload the sieve right away.

840 fan? that's a little high I found I was losing too much with fan above 750.
(checked with loss pan)

On our 9860premium I run zero fillers on canola. On cereals it depends on the year and how it thrashes. Canola (60bpa) settings I normally start at:

500rotor in low gear
780-800fan
32concave
14,5 sieve

I try to keep ground speed realistic too.

Thanks guys. I may try leaving them out for a day as a check. Our other settings look fairly similar.
