600-650 rotor

concave is on .10-.20 depending on the amount or ryegrass/cheat we have. Not much but its heavy in a few spots that I opened it up a bit to let the straw go on through the machine.

1100-1150 fan

Top screen is set wide open and bottom is around 1/2 way open. Its 25 and 12 on the monitor. Not running an air foil, just the rice sieves that are factory.

We put the wire kit in the concave and have the front section blanked off completely. We were getting too many whitecaps and bits of unthreshed heads. The wires and blanks fixed 90% of that problem. Speeding up and keeping the rotor full fixed the rest.

Its taking a little getting used to that bigger rotor and a lot more power. I was running around 5mph this afternoon and had more capacity than we had empty trucks or carts. Cart man said I was working him to death!
