#1 Sharp sickle, no broken sections or guards #2 Reel speed should be slightly faster than ground speed. Too fast and reel beats out beans and too slow, they won't feed in very good. #3 reel height. 510 has lever next to variable speed for reel cylinders, use it as the height of crop changes going across field. Set it so the crop feeds in without beating the crop down into the head. #4 Check under the head and feeder house for leaks, ALWAYS USE SAFETY STOP ON CYLINDER BEFORE GETTING UNDER HEAD!!!!!!!!!! Older heads don't always seal with feederhouse. Stuff rags in cracks or fill with caulking. Do you have a chopper or straw spreader? Check threshed stems to see if all beans are taken out of pods. Have someone operate machine and walk along side and catch chaff coming out back end, see if beans are coming out the back. I set rear of concaves to width of a sickle section If you have cracked beans in grain tank, rear concave is set too tight or cylinder speed is too fast. Hundreds of adjustments, make them one at a time and cut a little bit to see what changed. Takes a while sometimes, but time spent is more beans in tank. Chris
