Hey just wondering if anyone had problems keeping the sieves clean in canola.....Both my 850's plug up with pods in canola. I've got the wind cranked up and even replaced the belt for the fanning mill. But no change?
Everybody will tell you to run your concave wide open in canola because you can, and the conventional wisdom is that you can gain a little capacity. After almost 30 years of growing canola I've quit doing that for a couple reasons. I run the concave a little more than half open (conventional cylinder in a John Deere but same principal) so that it breaks up the pods better, and so the cylinder plugs first instead of the beater. You'll only unplug the beater on a 9500 once to know you never want to do it again. The word chainsaw comes to mind, and not in a good way.
