Round hole sieve for soybeans?

Anyone on here ever used a round hole sieve in place of a finger sieve for soybeans? Do you replace both top and bottom fingers with the ones
with holes or just one of the two. I was told you get a much cleaner bin sample as pods can not get thru them. I found a set for a 7700 Deere
combine and wonder if it is worth making them fit my 95. Tom
 
My father in law had one for his old Gleaner. You replaced the bottom sieve with the round hole.

He was happy with it, but when he got a newer combine, he didn't track down a new sieve to go with it.

He was doing food grade organic, so clean was a definite bonus.
 
I did on a gleaner m. I didn't like it. I was sending way too much back thru the return. It was 45 years ago and I was pretty green at running a combine. Maybe I drove too fast, had the chaffer too open, not enough air, cylinder too slow/fast or maybe the round hole sieve just didn't work for me. Went back to the adjustable. To be honest that whole gleaner setup didn't work for me. Got a Deere and never looked back.
 
Remember the AC all Crops used a round hole but also had 2 of the adjustable one on top. Size of hole makes a difference and has to be matched to the bean if they are a large bean or a small bean.
 
I have used them on my dad's AC 60 and on my massey clipper. Used in place of bottom sieve. Helps alot on keeping trash out.I would like to find one for my M gleaner.

I run a 10 mm hole screen in my jd 9650 sts
Works great but you have to give it a little time in heavy beans

On a late model Massey combine and maybe other models, a round hole screen is a option available to be placed in front of bottom sieve, but not to replace any sieve, When installing the screen the bottom front sieve STOP is unbolted, turned down and out of the way and rebolted in. Then in the same slide as the bottom sieve the round hole screen is placed in front of the bottom sieve. The round hole screen then screens the grain going onto the clean grain auger. Screen must have hole big enough to allow grain to easily pass thru or return auger will be overloaded with grain.
 
A Operators manual is probably the best source of information for each model of combine one is working with. That along with experience. Alot of operator do less than a good job. More the operator than brand of combine in most cases.
 
Are they pods with or without beans in them? Threshed pods then yeah, might be worth a try. Worth it? You'll be the first to know. With beans inside then I think you know your problem lies elsewhere.
 
A bit more: I sold some round-hole sieves for 00 series but very few for 20 series (95s were on their way out when I got into the business).

I think it was for two reasons: 1. Fans got better and 2. Guys switched back and forth from corn to beans more often and didn't want the hassle of schlepping around another sieve.

Some guys (rightly) like to brag about how clean their sample is. Some don't seem to care at all (treat their combine like a mower), and some are more 'philosophical' as in, If the elevator is willing to buy my pods (isn't docking me for FM), that's fine by me!
 
Dad had a screen that slide in under the finger sieve of the 95, samples were a lot cleaner than the newer combines at the time and you knew who was harvesting Asgrow beans back them (late 80s) the pods were thick in the trucks coming in.
