How do you set Soybeans 2388?
Start out at 550 rotor rpm. Keep bumping the rotor speed up 20 rpm at a time and looking back in the grain tank. Bump up the speed 20 rpm at a time until you see the soybean actually crack/split in the tank. Once you see them start to crack, look at the rotor speed and back it down 70 RPM.
Are chaffers bottom or top?
Shoe, old term for last stage, on us humans, the “shoe”. We refer to the top sieve as the chaffer and the bottom as the shoe.
How fast can you combine soybeans?
3-4 miles per hour
Don’t drive too fast. Most combines today with platform headers are able to operate without problems at 3-4 miles per hour. If you use a row-crop header you can go a little bit faster. However, if you use a rigid platform you can’t go as fast as with a platform header or a row-crop header.
How do I stop sieve loss?
Straw pulverized into small pieces that drop down to the sieves will reduce air flow and separation — and increase losses. Cracked seed is another sign of overthreshing. Consider lowering the cylinder speed or widening the concave setting.
How fast are reels in soybeans?
Reel speed RPM should be 10 times the ground speed. Example: 4 MPH ground speed = 40 RPM on reel speed.
How fast do you combine beans?
Registered. Anywhere from 2.5 to 4.5mph, really depends on losses and conditions. A properly tuned FD70/75 will cut beans at like 7+mph in good conditions if you really wanted to push it, but the number one thing for improving yield is slowing down the combine!
Why do you combine beans at an angle?
“Going at an angle allows the tires to grip onto rows. If you go between rows you’ll tend to cut in.” Approaching lodged beans from the right angle lets the combine pick them up more easily. “If they’re lodged to the right, you want to cut through on your right side. The beans should fall into the field.
Why do they harvest soybeans on angle?
Harvest on a slight angle (15 to 20 degrees) in fields planted in 15-inch or 30-inch rows. This will usually help the short plants feed into the combine more uniformly. The position of the reel will be critical to reducing gathering losses when harvesting short plants.
What is the best angle to cut soybeans?
Harvest on a slight angle (15 to 20 degrees) in fields planted in 15-inch or 30-inch rows. This will usually help the short plants feed into the combine more uniformly.
What causes short soybeans?
There was so little time between planting/emergence and flowering that fewer nodes and internodes formed, resulting in shorter plants. Hopefully, branching and lower pod set will compensate for loss of nodes and height.
