I see you have the fins. I still think the the diameter difference of the CDF is all important in corn. I had a St. Johns enclosed rotor in my 62 (same diameter as concave, enclosed 6 bar like CDF), and had terrible cob break up unless machine was running balls out loaded in heavy corn. I am a firm believer that the diameter difference of the CDF has a pinch/thresh/release characteristic, hence low cob breakage. Do you have break up now running your CDF? If you do I would start there as to why. I adjust my separator grate for my machine--you can't, so I would shim, and not worry to much about balance unless you do small grains too. Just make your shims as accurate dimensionally as possible and you would be fine at corn/bean RPMS. The F2 bar never impressed me because of the potential obtruction hazard. I think "stair stepping" bars with shims is much better. Just my experiences and opinions. I see you have red tractors and silver combine too---cool
