Looking for any suggestions on lessening the over-threshing I am seeing in my corn currently.
The F2 is sending several whole cobs out the back, a couple here and there with a half-dozen kernels or so still on the cob. Some cobs come out broken but none are split the long way. Have the 20" cylinder sheave turned all the way down to 412rpm. Three channel bars on the concave doors currently, 1-3-5. Cylinder clearance set to a bit over 5/8". No lap bars on cylinder. Given all of this, still seeing about 5-6% FM due to damaged kernels.
Considering removing, or moving, channel concave bars... or swapping out one or two of the channel bars with angle bars I have.
Moisture is usually running around 15-17%.
