With the BS vomitoxin crap there is the idea to blow out some of the lighter kernels to help cut the dock down. I have actually set our 7720 to do just that for that reason. Otherwise it will do a fine job. I can't get out and check with it running like I used to 20-30 years ago. I try to have somebody to either drive or check for me. I do know on corn I can make the cobs come out round in the trash. If they are not round things are not set right. It will take a bit. For beans I set the cylinder near 600 then adjust concaves to get close then finish with cylinder speed. For the sieve if I hear the tailings elevator making noise the bottom sieve needs to open just a bit. To much is going over the bottom sieve. If I find beans on the rear axle then I need to slowdown. It is hard to check with a chopper on the back. Anything going through with the walkers will not show up if you don't look on the walkers themselves. I Know when the 9000 series first came out I was on a couple of different harvest crews. In the morning we would speed the cylinder up a bit for the slight toughness then back them down after a bit when it got drier. then if there were white caps (hulls) in the bin then we would speed up the cylinder again some. Usually had the concaves about shut for wheat. Then adjust cylinder speed. For corn I had an old harvester tell me on a massey set the cylinder at 400 for corn then adjust the concaves to finish up setting.

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web. As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
