Billonthefarm 2366 Combine questions

I have a few questions for you concerning the settings on your 2366. It has 1/4" wire concaves. It has the specialty rotor. It has hillside dividers on the sieves.
What speed do you run at in big corn (190bu+)?
Do you notice decreased cleaning capacity on hillsides? What are you settings as far as the sieves, rotor speed, concave, and fan speed?
It seems if I go faster than 4mph, the machine will throw corn out the back.
I cant push the machine to bring down engine rpms. Its not even working it at all.
Any help will be gladly appreciated. Thank you

Hi stuart.
That sounds like the concave we have. The grates behind the concave do they look like the concave or smooth steel with oblong holes? In 200 bu corn at 20 percent moisture we can make 5mph and you can load the engine down and not throw corn out in fact I cant think of any scenario where we had that problem. Honestly we have no hillsides so I cant tell you about that. The rotor will be around 400 the concave 5 or 6 fan around 1000 and the sieves are pretty well wide open. With the specialty rotor we will get situations where some cob gets into the tank but minimal.
Are you really finding corn or is it just the monitor? That thing can be a little touchy at times. Have you ever adjusted the those stupid vanes on the rotor cage? They can slow things up a little and let it seperate in the rotor area instead of the back end. I honestly cant recall if we have all the wires in the whole concave or not, I will check tomorrow and let you know. Hope I can help. Holler back if you have any other questions. If IAgary isnt busy he could be some help to you also. Maybe he would have an idea I'm missing.
good luck

What size head? What moisture?

If it is a six row several things can be a factor.

The varity of corn can be one. Some shell and seperate easier than others. Lots of green stalks and leaves can cause problems as well. They are to heavy to blow out and they carry corn out with them.

Set the combine to the settings bill said on the rotor, concave and fan.Open that top seive up till the corn stays in with 200 bushel corn at 4 mile per hour on the flat.

Do you have the tailings flow monitor? If so open up the bottom shoe till the tailings no longer over fills.

If you get to much trash in the hopper set this way then you will have to back down the seives and shoe to get out the trash.

4 mph on the flat in 20% 200 bushel corn is about the limit. You may be down to 2.5 on sidehills and up hill.

I've been having problems getting small pieces of dry bean stems out of the hopper.

I'm down to 400 RPM on the rotor Concaves open to 6 and still getting stems with the shoe about shut.

Gonna try over opening the shoe tomorrow to see if it will shoot more air out to blow them out.

Today I set as follows: Rotor-350. Concave-3.0-3.5.Fan at 1250. Sieves are closed up pretty good but follow the books settings and I could go 4mph in 180 bu corn. Talked to some neighbors and they said 5-6 on concave was way to wide open. It seems to be working good right now. I will keep you posted.
