Cleaner K tailings elevator full of grain

Massmike · Jul 27, 2018

Hi everyone. I'm a farmer in Massachusettes and have been using a A.C. Gleaner K for 3 years now on primarily wheat. This year I'm having handfuls of grain returning in the tailings and can't figure out which side of the shoe I'm losing it on. Everything is adjusted to The Operators manual and there is not a lot of loss on the ground. Can't find anyone that's really used one of these machines close to me so any help would be great.

Thanks

Lower sieve is closed too tightly and/or you are driving too fast for the amount of crop yield.

Thanks DrAllis. I though my ground speed
was an issue. I don't have the adjustable
sieve, just running a 3/16" by 1/2" fixed
oval screen and the chaffers at just under
1/2". Need to look for an adjustable sieve
this winter i guess. As for my ground
speed, the ground speed lever seems to be
stuck in the back slow position but machine
travels at normal travel speed and the
lever will only push forward but
doesn't seem to do much of anything.
Something else to fix I guess.
