E. CO, exactly half way between NE and OK | Like Shimmy 1 says, in wheat the back of the concaves should be set so they just don't hit and the front about 1/4". Speed the cylinder up until you see cracked grain, then slow it down a little. If you see unthreshed heads in the grain bin, close the lower sieve down. See how much you are returning when you are cutting.
Now if you want to make it a wheat machine, take the concave out, take all the wires out of the concave, weld metal between the first four concave bars half way down the bars. You won't believe how much better job it will do. |
