Shiloh is the boss

Thank you.

That's the difference between a combine with a grain pan moving grain back to the cleaning shoe and those stupid auger beds that Deere and CaseIH uses...The grain pan shakes with the cleaning shoe, pre-sorting the heavier grain to the bottom and lighter chaff on top, so as it drops through the rake onto the chaffer MOST of the chaff gets blown out the back right at that point. As the grain spreads out over and falls through the chaffer onto the sieve, the rest of the chaff gets blown out. Stupid auger beds mix everything together into a mix of grain and chaff, and it takes longer to sort out, and so a lot of trash gets though with the grain into the tank. Plus, auger beds deliver material unevenly to the rake and chaffer, as the auger flighting turns and dumps and tosses the material off the end of the auger bed onto the rake and chaffer below. Grain pans deliver the pre-sorted grain and chaff in a smooth, even movement as the pan rocks forward, delivering the grain onto the rake and chaffer in a smooth, flat, even mat of material which rapidly sorts and cleans. The other thing is, seems like most guys just flat outrun the cleaning shoe... they cut the air back too much and open the chaffer and sieve more than they probably should to get the grain through it faster and increase capacity, so they can drive faster and "force feed it" to get done faster. NOT what you want to do to get clean grain. Always start as far open on the chaffer and sieve as possible to maximize capacity, BUT also run the cleaning fan at maximum and dial it back if grain is blowing over... cut the airflow back incrementally until you get acceptable loss out the back... (NOT zero loss... a few broken or immature kernels blowing out the back is normal and acceptable-- it's a fine dividing line). That will give the most capacity with the best cleaning. OL J R :)

@@lukestrawwalker Hey, your description and operating rotary combines makes more sense than anything I've read or heard, much better info than the sales pitch from dealers..

Thank you

fell off the bin the once never will i again lmao

I don't have much natural padding.

Yep

Yeah, a couple feet on the auger spout would give some flexibility to shoot the corn right down the center of the distributor.

Are you talking about a swing away?

@@boehmfarm4276 well i was talking about Mayrath In line Not a swing type but i have both so if your looking for a great auger Mayrath is the only one to offer a true Gear Box swing where as the rest use some kind of chain drive on the end for the swing portion... which on the Farmkings the 13 inch we have issues with the end chain sprockets working off due to the weight of auger and corn pushing down on it and not to mention they use a cheap pressed bearing . so if your looking for swings the best Mayrath or Westfield/Wheatheart and actually all 3 are owned by AGI now otherwise straight augers Mayrath inlines are awesome they come with a small hopper attached so you never have to monkey with plastic strap ons or leaking lol and the mayraths by far take the least power we used to run 70 foot long by 10 inch with kubota Sub Compact 18 horse and it would move 3000bu/hr wet corn at full speed lol

It all looks good, but without a boot, it's hard to turn over the rest. I do have extra belts for it.

Around here it's all kill bros and J&M

It's an Ester like 2,4D is, so you really smell it. You can find it in most garden sections. So I'd say its mostly safe.

Boehm Farm gotcha, If its in the garden section it's safe Haha Thank you for replying. Seems like most channels won't even comment back. It seems like you atleast try to comment as much as you can. Merry Christmas buddy. Be safe

The wagon, or the corn it holds? The wagon would bring near a thousand at auction. It now has three new tires, a newer front axle and new rails under the box. Only downside is a bit rust at the door.

That stuff was a solid 24%

You put in the bin at that moisture?

@@ihd-3603 Yep hope they ran the fan nonstop on it for a month or two to dry it down! OL J R :)

8000

Now why would I use 130 horses for an auger? This is no economy to waste fuel.

@@boehmfarm4276 I said nothing about using a 130 hp tractor for use on a auger - you may read it like that - that's way overpowered - you just use those IH tractors for field work - which is good

I have been using the 1466 for pulling wagons and rescues when the picker gets stuck.

@@boehmfarm4276 Understood

A big tractor might be clumsy in that type of situation
