Marion Calmer discusses the big improvement he made to his combine concaves this year, which has made a big difference during corn harvest. www.CalmerCornHeads.com
Been setting my sieve the way Marion said , case IH people tell me I am crazy . Well call me crazy , but it works like a champ ! As Marion and I said via e-mail we are surprised it has not been accepted and adopted in their settings .
Yeah i dont mean to be mean but they dont know a darn thing about threshing or combining i bet you million dollars if you would bring a case person to harvest vwry small seeds they would seat and cry with their new combine..
Damn these improvement are extremely helpfull! I have use years those wrong concaves and now works very fine! 100-400 buschels for acre and i have nothing to change on the sieves, the corn just come out perfect in every conditon, in wet stocks works better and i have less fuel consume, and in soyabeans too. Lol we have those different concaves in the shop and never used, we trought those are for barley
Harvest trac is just the grain loss monitor right? The grain loss monitor on the jd s series uses a calibration number. I have my calibration number set to 20. At that number I have zero loss in corn when it’s running in the bottom red and green. I start seeing loss in the upper red. In 200 bushel corn I was running below the green almost always.
have. a 1440 combine for 20 years . did great job in beans , corn , and oats . 3 years ago purchased a 2188 . only use in beans . cant get beans clean ! . was told to put a short bottom sieve in . thats our next step for this year . looking between the two combines thats the only diffrence. except the rotor. one other thing we only have a 20 foot head . i was told that was the problem ?
The approach for the concaves should be the same, regardless of the color of your machine. JD likely sells a comparable option that will function the same. Please call Marion at (309) 368-1182 for further questions or information. Thanks!
Try closing the chaffer a little more and increasing your fan speed if too many pods in the tailings. if there are alot of unthreshed pods in the tailings close the concave down until you see cracked beans in the tank.also can increase cylinder speed a little but I don't like to run over 550 in a 9400.
no. you want the sieve closed enough to send most pods back through tailings. you want the chaffer open enough to let the most whole pods through. and, you want to minimize whole pods reaching the separator on the first pass.
Legend this man is

Give Marion a call and pick his brain.
What concaves do you recommend for a JD ? Particularly a S670

Do you open the shoe up wide open for soybeans too? Having a hard time getting Beans clean and I'm sometimes overloading the tailings elevator.

Does Mr. Calmer's combine rotor is standard or speciality?
These are standard parts - www.abilenemachine.com/ can supply you with replacement parts.
Excelente video pregunto si alguien me podría ayudar con mi combinada 2188 sale muy sucio el maíz soy nuevo en esto de las cosechadoas
