Sorry about last post, wrong pics. Any way nutshell is .5% broken kernel, foreign material, no dockage; with removing bottom sieve.

It would appear that a 95 in corn is almost going to have the same capacity as a 105. The main bottleneck is the clean grain elevator, which looks to be the same size in a 105 and 95.

Taking out the bottom sieve improves air flow and also reducing small cob pieces plugging the bottom sieve. Seems to be very little field loss, in 2014 half my acreage was corn after corn that had been harvested by the same machine, same setup. Don't think I could find a volunteer corn plant in the entire field.

Not knocking the job your combine did. A JD 95 is a pretty good older machine. You appear to have a fairly flat field and pretty dry corn. That helps tremendously in the capacity of your combine.

Take that same machine in to 22-25 percent moisture corn and the capacity would be 20-30% less. Then add in a 3-5% side hill and your even lower.

All I am trying to point out is the guys bashing the newer combines have to remember that the newer combines can run wetter corn faster in more adverse conditions with fewer repairs per bushel/acre of harvesting.

I'd say that is a clean sample. I'll bet some of these newer people would find it hard to believe a conventional can put out a sample like that. I will have to check but I thought JD recommended removing the sieve when harvesting corn. I'm talking back in the 50s with the No 10. Could be wrong though.

My 105 gas was horsepower limited so I never did have problems with overloading the cleaning shoe. I ran full fan without blowing anything put the back except for one time when I was in some 49 pound corn. When I slowed the fan down for the light corn I was getting a little more junk in the tank but it was still way below the dockage level at the elevator. Bugged the heck out of me because I wanted this perfectly clean sample I could not attain.

Hi Brad,

I find it fascinating to look at the hopper extension. Just stare at it and watch it change due to an optical illusion.

When the lowest corner of the extension appears closest to you, the extension looks like it's leaning badly away from horizontal !!!

You may remember I and my brother. We visited your combine collection a few years before you sold.

Sample looks good to me or adjust the combine right up to the dock. Guy who taught me how to farm said "sell 'em as much junk as you can!"
