EC IL | There was an issue on the 9070 created we believe by the yield monitor installation. We didn't use the factory yield monitor; we used Ag Leader. Ag Leader required taking out 2 paddles in the clean grain elevator so there was a "deadband" in the load cell activity and swore there were no consequences from removing them. After we drove too slow all one fall to accommodate repeated plugging, we found we had ruined the chain, were losing even more paddles, and started damaging the top of the elevator. So, by the next fall with the elevator back in shape, we could hit up to 4700 bu/hr in dry corn. We think the grain system overloads caused a cascade of issues though and traded mid-season the next season.
When we traded to the used 7230, we had all dry corn left and no soybeans. We promptly plugged the clean grain elevator in really good corn with the 7230 and 12 row head, but only did it once. We found the high-speed pully was unused, so we moved the belt and hammered down even farther with more speed in the 7230. I read since that time that the low-speed side on the flagship runs up to about 4500 bu/hr and the high side is good for 6000.
Your 9065 has the same engine as a 9070 so it doesn't surprise me you can run 1200-1500 in beans. I always wondered how well the 9065 performed in beans and have even been pricing them out of curiosity for a while. The 8-hour world record bean harvest was set in 2017 with an 8.90, and they averaged just over 2000 bushels per hour, so there is a definite throughput benefit to the 22" rotors and wide body based in ideal conditions. Several different machines should break that "record" now.
