Looking forward to the pictures of your sample csfi. One in your hand and one straight on top of the grain tank would be good. Never did ask, do you direct head the lucerne or swath? It will be amusing to know how many times you go looking for the two spots on the rear axle where the dark green paint wears away!!!! When does it start?
I do like those colours. Lime green and white is not the best mix.
One day i might see if the S series rethrasher will help in this crop.

A few things I notice...
likely has hydraulic fore/aft on feeder faceplate. It looks tilted back pretty far.
unloading auger looks small, especially with a machine that has such large tyres (had to spell it that way when it pertains to a German machine!)
How about some more pics. I would like to see the chopper/spreader area.
Better do your mods now while its clean!

Have always ran Deere's before, both conventional and STS's.
I direct cut my A. Seed after its been defoliated. Seed harvest usually gets cranked up the end of August around here.
I don't have any seat time with an S series rethrasher but I have tried the case/ih rethrasher in A. seed...............it doesn't work so well. I understand they are different.
SC, yes I does have the hydraulic fore/aft and its tipped back not quite all the way in those pics. I'll get some more pictures posted up, right now I have all the screens pulled working on getting some round holes built for it.

Screens?
Chaffer/sieves?
Can't member as my daughter used to say, did you get CEMOS Automatic and/or TM 6 sieves?
Don, as Claas has no plans to ever make A. Seed a supported crop I did not get it with CEMOS Auto. I just don't grow the crops that they are supporting here in my area.
As far as Chaffer's/Sieves go I got it with TM6 top and bottom. But will be running 1/8" or slightly bigger than 3mm round hole screens under a TM6 Chaffer mostly.

Heard a lot of issues on the 500 series dual bolts breaking, thought I'd throw in a pic of the 700 dual bolt system.
Any other areas you guys would like to see let me know.

What did you think of the process of removing the chaffer? After doing it a time or two, I have found it to be very easy, especially compared to a 2388. The first time I did it, I made it a bit too complicated and took a few too many bolts off.
Do you have steep hills? Have you considered adding a "hillside divider" down the middle of each left and right section? I think I might do that. 3-D seems to work great in corn but could be better in soybeans and wheat.
I have heard Claas makes a divider, but have never seen it or a part number.

Funny you should ask, when I first stuck my head in there and started looking at removing the chaffer I was thinking (man this looks complicated!) Its really not........it is quite well though out and simple to remove. I had a lot less trouble doing it than I do with any of my Deere's and that was my first time with a Claas. Next go around will probably take half the time to do it.
I do have some hills but they are mostly up and down thrashing, not a lot of side hill stuff. Some of them I would consider steep in spots but not a lot of acres. That was one of the things that made me so disgusted with Deere in A. Seed, any downhill slope at all and they start putting whole curls in the grain tank
..........really frustrating. Always ended up deadheading up hill to stop it. The fella that has the other 760 in the area has a lot more hills than I do and he doesn't have to deadhead, that was a major selling point for me. Thanks guys for the congrats, pretty excited for harvest already!
