Anyone out there running Deeres new variable stream rotor with rice excellerator and discharge beaters performance package. Being told the best thing for tough straw cereals

We have MY14 machines with the options you speak of. They are better than previous Deere models/rotors. Very little banging & noise from the machine, we didn't plug once this year which normally we would a few times a year. BUT, thrashing tough wheat was much worse than our old 9870s with bullet rotors. So i would say we increased throughput and decreased grain quality.

Did you run soybeans with this setup?

I had the new feed accelerator put into my combine and did not find much difference. Feeding was good, but acceptable grain loss was not happening.
Seriously wondering also if the intensive separating grates will help.
Personally I would buy the bullet rotor.

Yes we did over 1200acs of beans (that is not a main crop in my area)

Did you have the rice feed acc with the spikes or just the deeper wing type from deere??

 

[Jason Hildebrand]

Maybe I misunderstood, I thought the high cap feeding package was the rice package. We have the hi cap package which is different than my2013

I have a new s680 with very stream rotor with dense pack tines and heavy duty seperator grates and interrupter bars. Start harvesting in two weeks will be interesting to see how it goes

Did you opt for the rice beaters as well. Sounds interesting keep us posted

It has the 8 wing beater up front. This machine has rye grass clover radish mustard 12 to 13 t/ha wheat and 10+t/ha barley peas Lin seed/flax red beet and a few other silly things to harvest so over the next three months I will get to know the good and the bad. We are fully irrigated and very close to the coast so cool damp conditions a lot of the time. Got sick of spending lots of money maintaining my 460 evolution lexion. This is my first dark green combine.

We run 2 variable stream s690's with the dense pack kits in them. Find less totor loss with the only side effect of it having a slightly dirtier sample when really dry.

All those dirty things like "patents" in the way of john Deere building a good threshing system....

Gopher do you do any hard threshing spring wheat, or mostly easy harvesting durum? My variable stream works well in cps wheat and barley, not so stellar in hrs wheat.
