Equipment has changed since 1985 we didn’t have to call a technician to work on our stuff, we did it ourselves. Oklahoma wheat farmer here, that’s why I talk funny. Thank you Sir for your video

@fuhrstpuhl3278 7 ай бұрын

On my old Massey combine I figured that it was impossible to set the sieves and the fan unless you could maintain a somewhat constant quantity of crop feeding through the machine in the thin spots of the field I would have to speed up the groundspeed to maintain the flow or the fan would blow grain out the back or if you reduced fan speed for the thin crop the sample would be dirty in the heavy spots of the field so I would have to slow down and adjust my speed by judging how much crop was coming on the head....the only in cab adjustment I had was cylinder speed and concave clearance.............my question is do these new machines automatically make these fan and sieve adjustments by what the sensors are seeing ????
