Do you have the bottom sieve pulled?

 

6000 BPH... in my neck of the woods, that's achievable with 7 combines going full out!!! I guess that's why my land is worth $600/acre...

 

I can do 6000 bph all day long if i had the trucks and the guys... but not with one machine or at least the machines i have. ?

 

I should'nt have to with the deep tooth bottom sieve.

 

At 6000bph the unloading auger would run over 50% of the time at full capacity 3.3bu/second.

Guess you need two carts chasing that combine so there is always one under the spout while the other has a chance to go load a semi.

Impressive throughput..

 

my 2011 760 was rated at 3.3 ,the 2014 780 is rated at 3.8 but going from 4800 bph to 5500 bph pretty much unloads the same amount of time. we run 2 1050 kinzes with sideboards to hold 1250 bushels each.

 

yes

In order to run over six consistently the bottom sieve must be pulled as it was in the 50K video. Remember also Jeff did that in 9 separator hrs. The corn must be 16ish or under and heavy test. At one point he was averaging close to 6. Clean the fan intake area between the fans underneath and in front of the tranny. What fan speed are you running? I had a 4000 bu average yesterday on 31K bushel. To average 4 or 5 ,takes running 5, 6 and 7 at times. I run older stuff and when i run into the 5Ks I feel guilty i`m going to find a week spot. My 98 480 would run all day at 4400 but push it past that and the smoke would fly off the clean grain belt. I am so thankful to be finished tomorrow and record yields also. The 500s and 700s have an over built clean grain system and I do appreciate that. A narrow body can push to the upper 5ks and this is with the extra long lower installed. Good luck! Tigercat

 

even in 15% 60 pound corn we're only at 5500 bph. fan speed up to 1450. why would the bottom sieve need to be out. can't you open it to do the same as pulling it out. with our 780 and 16 row head we very seldom go more than 5.5 mph. all irrigated circles. typically cover 150 to 200 acres in a 12 hour day . 30,000 to 50,000 bushels.

 

The bottom sieve is much smaller than the top one. Any restriction is too much for the capacity you are looking for. We pull ours all the time. Takes about an hour the first time. Pretty easy.

 

Tigercat , why would a narrow body be capable of upper 5's and not a wide body in the 6's ?

 

Completely off topic, but you are the guys we are looking for! My 6 yr old wants to combine corn in the worst way, and so do I ! One fall we want to take a working holiday and come run a combine for you! Don't want to be paid. Pm me if you would ever entertain that.

We farm in Saskatchewan and run all newer equipment.

 

we won't be the closest corn farmer to you, but your always welcome to stop by and drive a deere combine in corn with your son,
combining corn is fun (when conditions are right lol)

 

That's awesome don't know who would be more excited !
