Don't have manual yet, bean settings on M2

TDS · Sep 26, 2015

I ordered a manual but beans are ready sooner then I thought, what are the soybean settings for a M2 Gleaner? Thanks in advance!

Basic settings Cylinder clearance 1/2", cylinder speed 600rpm, fan choke 5-6, chaffer opening 5/8", sieve opening 3/8", sieve height in front bottom of slot. We run with the door right behind the thresher rattle in the up position. I start with these and work from there, almost always end up with less clearance and more speed on the fan. If you get wrapping on the thresher rattle you may need to tighten the cylinder to smash the steams up more. I was having a terrible time until we installed the optional rake over the back portion of the thresher rattle. Some believe in it some do not, it worked for me. lots of dealer folks will not know what the rake option is, got mine from a wreckers. good luck and be safe.

I have the rake on my M3, just started beans today, down to 3/8 inch and 500 rpm due to green pods in a field testing 11 percent. You may also need the speed up sproket for the beater behind the cylinder; running a low cylinder speed results in low speed for the beater since they share the drive. Speeding up the beater helps move material back and past the thresher raddle
