Here is a question for everyone - regardless of combine color.
For those of you that still dump at the end of the field, do you leave the seperator engaged while unloading or do you dis-engage and let it stop for the couple of minutes ?
For 25 years i have dis-engaged the seperator while unloading. It seems logical to me to save those couple of minutes of belts/bearings turning, which adds up over a days time.
Some guys say it is more wear and tear engaging the seperator after each dump so they just let everything run while unloading.
I know those of you that use grain carts obviously dontcant disengage but would you if you had to stop to unload?
I can see pro and con to both so I figured I'd ask you experts out there.
