We swat our barley with an 18 foot cut header and have had hundred bushel barley and 55 bales per acre of straw and we cannot get the combine to catch all the grain. We are putting about 5 bushels per acre out the back and it seems to be riding out on the chaff. We have tried running the combine full to the point of bogging the engine to not working it hard. We have tried opening the pre cleaner some to get the chaff up and moving sooner and we have tried all kinds of different air settings. We are at a loss for how to make this thing more efficient. I know we are pushing a lot of straw through it but we had a JD 6600 that would go like 2.4 miles per hour in the same type fields and not loose a kernel. I need some advice
Thank you
