Our farm's TR99 stone trap opens often in use. We think its adjusted per operators manual. Just want to know if this is a common problem or is it fine?
Thanks for the input.

The electronic stone trap could be ur issue, it would have both Manuel and electric..

Check the sensitivity, or feeder house chain.. Could be slapping would kick it open.

Check the back of the stone door is adjusted slightly higher then the feeder house floor or grain will bunch and kick the door open.

The little sound board ( silver box on door side of feeder house ) has a low and high sensitivity switch on it. Run it on low always. We set by the book normally, but if entering heavy canola we crank the tension right up on the door or it will drive you crazy. Keep feeder chain tight, there is also extra rollers you can add to the feeder house to quiet the feeder chain. Raise the stone roll up and have at er. We are on mainly stone free land so not afraid to tighten the door up if needed. Can be very annoying otherwise.

check the electrical connections under the feeder house at the front if they get loose will cause it to open randomly

This is a very common problem with TR combines. All suggestions so far were the right ones. It is up to you to decide how many trips are acceptable depending on how stony your land is. If not stony keep that door tension high. Good luck!
