Beresford SD | Pre-cleaner cannot have open too wide as what goes through it goes directly to the grain tank.
Monitor takes some doing, check all the sensor wiring. Intermittent high readings can mean a broken wire. I have best luck in corn reading sieve sensors using the small or intermediate grain size setting, soybeans work with the large grain size setting. Never had a lot of success with the walkers. My approach to sieve settings was to get the sieve, chaffer, and pre cleaner set, then the fan, then set the monitor on sieve mode and turn knob until needle got into green zone, then increase fan speed to see if gauge would show increase in loss. If all this behaved, then an increase in ground speed would show up on the guage, the guage would show more loss going around the end when the cleaning unit emptied out, and even in low yield spots the guage needle would go up due to reduced load on the cleaning unit and air carrying out the light and cracked stuff.
Did a little corn this afternoon, heck of a time to get the concave and cylinder speed set (JD 9550), ended up at #37 on concave, 490 rpm cylinder, corn moisture 32%. Wide variation in cob sizes. 1000 bu was enough of that.
