Small grain through a 'corn special'

DeltaRed · Nov 18, 2019

My new 55 combine is a 'corn special'. I want to use it for small grain and soybeans. It has the long finger/deep corn sieves.Will they work,or will I need to change sieves?Any other differences between a 'regular' combine and corn special?Or will it mack no difference at all?Steve

It will work. IIRC you will need a little more "wind" since long finger sieve has more open area. We used to do oats with 7720 and long finger sieve. Just fine. Wheat or barley would be better with short fingers. IMHO.

They work just fine in wheat. Here?s mine. I don?t know what the shoe and fan settings are without going to look at it. I do know it puts out a clean sample.

Now that there video is cool. Does yours have a 217 or a 303?

303 diesel. 55s and 95s starting in 1967 all had 303s gas or
diesel.
